Abstract

Background. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been considered to be responsible for the pathogenesis or progression of many diseases which may or may not be related to kidney. Genetic polymorphisms of the various components of the RAS have been associated with differences in the clinical Course of several disease states in adults and children.
