Interestingly, in hypertension cases, there is a higher prevalence for the C allele than the A allele, which reduces the ability of miR-155 to bind to AGTR1 [40], and individuals who were homozygous for the C allele showed lower miR-155 expression and higher AGTR1 expression, which resulted in elevated blood pressure [39]. This evidence concerns the gene AGTR1 and Hypertension.
