    Polymorphisms in the RAC1 Gene Are Associated With Hypertension Risk Factors in a Chilean Pediatric Population
    (OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2014) Tapia Castillo, Alejandra; Carvajal, Cristian A.; Campino, Carmen; Vecchiola, Andrea; Allende, Fidel; Solari, Sandra; Garcia, Lorena; Lavanderos, Sergio; Valdivia, Carolina; Fuentes, Cristobal; Lagos, Carlos F.; Martinez Aguayo, Alejandro; Baudrand, Rene; Aglony, Marlene; Garcia, Hernan; Fardella, Carlos E.
    The GTPase Rac1 has been implicated in hypertension as a modulator of mineralocorticoid receptor activity. Our aim is to investigate the frequency of polymorphisms rs10951982 (intron 1, G > A) and rs836478 (intron 3, T > C) in the RAC1 gene and perform association studies with clinical and biochemical parameters in a Chilean pediatric cohort.
