AGT

The AGT gene has been linked to essential hypertension and increased blood pressure. A functional AGT gene has been associated with hypertension and has been shown to affect the response to sodium and weight reduction, and the development of hypertension.

The  A - allele increases gene transcription and angiotensinogen levels. This correlates with increased blood pressure and susceptibility to hypertension. People with this allele may need to limit their salt intake. It is important for you to consider your genotype for the ACE gene when making better health choices. 

If you carry the G - allele in this gene, then there is a high likelihood for salt-insensitivity. It is important for you to consider your genotype for the ACE gene when making better health choices.
