Why the study?
Are specific gene polymorphisms associated with endothelium dysfunction in Uzbek hypertensive patients?
Are specific gene polymorphisms associated with endothelium dysfunction in Uzbek hypertensive patients?
The AGT/M235T gene polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of endothelium dysfunction in Uzbek hypertensive patients.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Does not support routine AGT genotyping in hypertension; leaves open its role in endothelial risk prediction for Uzbeks.
The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of ACE/ID, AGT/M235T, AT1R/A1166C, CYP11B2/C344T, B2ВKR/+9-9, ecNOS/4a4b, GNB3/C825T, and ARB2/Gln27Glu gene polymorphisms and their association with endothelium dysfunction (ED) in Uzbek hypertensive patients. The study found an association between ED and AGT M235T gene polymorphism. Genetic models disclosed that the T-allele, MT-, and TT-genotypes of the AGT gene were associated with an increased risk of ED. However, multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed the negative association between the MM genotype of the AGT gene and positive association between IMT and ED. An association between essential hypertension (EH) in Uzbek males with ACE/ID and GNB3/C825T gene polymorphisms has been demonstrated. There is an association of AGT/M235T gene polymorphism and ED in Uzbek hypertensive patients.
