"The dopamine receptor type 1 (DRD1) has been implicated in the development of hypertension in humans as well as in animal models of spontaneous hypertension. We screened the entire coding and promoter region of the human DRD1 receptor for polymorphisms to analyze their association with hypertension. The allele frequencies of two common single-nucleotide polymorphisms, A-48G and G-94A were determined in 493 hypertensive patients and 209 normotensive controls," investigators in Germany report.
"Allele frequencies did not differ for both polymorphisms between the two groups (-48...
