Abstract

Allele frequency distributions of the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and the M235T polymorphism of the angiotensinogen gene was studied in a random sample of the indigenous population of the Sakha Republic. The allelic variants of these genes did not showed an association with blood pressure in Yakuts.
