The relationship of Bradykinin B₂ receptor gene variation with obesity, hypertension and lipid variables in obese patients.

Objective: This study examined the association of C-58T genotypes with obesity/hypertension related parameters and serum lipids in obese (n=108) and non-obese (n=80) patients.

Materials And Methods: Bradykinin receptor (B₂R) C-58T genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP.

Results: B₂R gene C-58T frequencies for T/T (homozygous wild type), T/C (heterozygous) and C/C (homozygous polymorphic) genotypes for obese and non-obese patients were respectively: 36.
