Abstract
The innate immune system elicits an inflammatory process which is
believed to be involved in the development of vascular damage in hypertension. The NOD2
gene (CARD15) is involved in the control of the innate immune system. The aim of this study
was to assess the occurrence of the 3020insC mutation in the NOD2 gene in relation to
vascular damage in hypertensives.
