Association of Epoxide Hydrolase 2 Gene Arg287Gln with the Risk for Primary Hypertension in Chinese.

Conclusions: We provide evidence that R287Q mutation in EPHX2 gene was associated with reduced risk of primary hypertension and low activity of soluble epoxide hydrolase.EPHX2) gene coding for soluble epoxide hydrolase is a potential candidate in the pathogenesis of hypertension.
