Whole blood samples (3 mL) were collected from all study participants and stored at −80°C for subsequent DNA extraction. Selection of Angpt2 polymorphisms Five Angpt2 SNPs (rs2442598, rs734701, rs1823375, 11137037 and rs12674822) were selected from the intron of Angpt2; all SNPs had minor allele frequencies of greater than 5%. ................
