AGT and Hypertension: Polymorphisms in the AGT gene are reported to have significant associations with hypertension.17,29,30 The AGT (1q42-q43) gene encode for the AGT protein.31 SNPs within the AGT gene, such as rs3789678 (Guanine (G)→ Adenine (A) at position 230713736), and rs2004776 (Thymine (T) → Cytosine (C) at position 230712956), rs5051 (Cytosine (C) → Adenine (A) at position 230714126), and rs7079 (Guanine (G) → Thymine (C) at position 230702585), have been investigated for their causal role in hypertension.32
