ABSTRACT AIMS: The study aim was to analyse the frequency of polymorphic variants of
angiotensinogen gene polymorphism (AGT 704T> C, rs699) in essential arterial …

Background Elevated level of angiotensinogen (AGT), a major precursor in the hypertension
pathogenesis, is governed by the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of AGT M235T …

Background: Increasing left ventricular mass in hypertensive patients is an independent
prognostic marker for adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Genetic factors have been shown …

(SCD). Angiotensinogen (AGT) M235T gene polymorphism is associated with risk of …

Background: Hypertension is a public health challenge due to its high prevalence, and is a
major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. This study was designed to determine the …

Objective: Essential or primary hypertension in developing countries has become a major
problem. Recent hypertension-related research has revealed susceptibility genes in …

Background Cardiometabolic adversities constitute an enormous public health challenge.
Along with lifestyle/socio-cultural determinants, disease outcome is modulated by genetic …

Ischemic stroke (IS) is a multifaceted, complicated illness resulting from a confluence of
genetic, environmental and vascular risk factors. Many genes that may contribute to …
