Table 3 Blood pressure (mmHg) of subjects not treated with an antihypertensive drug, according to α2B-AR I/D genotypes

From: The insertion/deletion variation in the α2B-adrenoceptor does not seem to modify the risk for acute myocardial infarction, but may modify the risk for hypertension in sib-pairs from families with type 2 diabetes
