Association between adiponectin T94G polymorphism and resistant hypertension in young-onset Taiwanese patients

Young-onset hypertensives (YOHs) with resistant hypertension (RH) have a greater long-term cardiovascular risk. The present study examined whether a functional adiponectin T94G polymorphism (rs2241766) is associated with RH in YOHs. We analyzed data from the Academia Sinica Collaborative Study on Hypertension Genetics in Taiwanese subjects to compare rs2241766 between YOHs with and without RH (≤50 years of age). RH was defined as the need for at...
