On the other hand, in SA individuals under different models, the rs13447720 polymorphism was associated with a raised risk of central obesity, and hypertension and with a diminished risk of high Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activity and vitamin D deficiency, whereas, the rs499952 polymorphism was associated with a decreased risk of high GGT activity. This evidence concerns the gene GGTLC1 and hypertensive disorder.
