Polymorphisms at the F12 and KLKB1 loci have significant trait association with activation of the renin-angiotensin system

BACKGROUND: Plasma coagulation Factor XIIa (Hageman factor; encoded by F12) and kallikrein (KAL or Fletcher factor; encoded by KLKB1) are proteases of the kallikerin-kinin system involved in converting the inactive circulating prorenin to renin.
