Why the study?
Is the C1166/AT1 gene allelic variant associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke?
Is the C1166/AT1 gene allelic variant associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke?
The C1166/AT1 gene variant is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, particularly in hypertensive patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No immediate change to clinical practice; leaves open whether AT1 genotyping refines stroke risk prediction in hypertension.
Rubattu et al. (2004) studied this question.
