Abstract
The association of the molecular variant A-20C of the angiotensinogen gene with the prognosis of human hypertension as determined by the G-6A molecular variant is disclosed. The determination of this association enables the screening of persons to identify the severity of hypertension or the severity of the risk of a predisposition to high blood pressure.
