Association between polymorphism of the G-protein β3 subunit C825T and essential hypertension: an updated meta-analysis involving 36,802 subjects

Association between polymorphism of the G-protein β3 subunit C825T and essential hypertension: an updated meta-analysis involving 36,802 subjects.

PURPOSE The G-protein β3-subunit gene C825T polymorphism (GNB3-C825T) has been reported to be associated with essential hypertension (EH), but results from previous studies are conflicting. The present study aimed at investigating the association between this polymorphism and risk of EH using a meta-analysis on the published studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Embase, CBM (China Biological...

The C825T Polymorphism of the G-Protein β3 Subunit Gene and Its Association with Hypertension and Stroke: An Updated Meta-Analysis

OBJECTIVE Several epidemiological studies have evaluated the association between the GNB3 C825T polymorphism and hypertension or stroke. The results of these studies were inconsistent; therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to clarify these discrepancies. METHODS We systematically searched the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, and CBM databases, and manually searched reference lists of r...

Association between G-217A polymorphism in the AGT gene and essential hypertension: a meta-analysis.

Numerous studies have evaluated the association between the angiotensinogen (AGT) G-217A gene polymorphism and essential hypertension risk. However, the results have been inconsistent. We examined whether the AGT G-217A gene polymorphism confers essential hypertension risk by conducting a meta-analysis. We conducted a literature search of the Google Scholar, PubMed, and China National Knowledge...

Studying the Association between STAT4 Gene Polymorphism and Susceptibility to Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease: An Updated Meta-Analysis

Association between the resistin gene-420 C>G polymorphism and obesity: an updated meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of the resistin gene (RETN)-420 C>G polymorphism and obesity susceptibility by conducting an updated meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The electronic databases including PubMed, Medline, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Wanfang Database, and Chinese VIP database were searched for relevant studies publish...
