Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the angiotensinogen gene and susceptibility to hypertension: single locus genotype vs. haplotype analysis.
Although some single polymorphism analyses of the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene have been found to be associated with hypertension, the results are still inconsistent. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the association of the genotype and haplotype distributions of three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (G-217A, A-6G, and M235T) in the AGT gene with hypertension. In a sample of 461...
متن کاملSingle Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in the Adiponectin Gene and Cardiovascular Disease
Dear Editor, The recent article by Mohammadzadeh et al.[1] on the latest issue of this Journal showed that the T allele +276G/T SNP of ADIPOQ gene is more associated with the increasing risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Adipocytes were described in myocardial tissue of CAD patients and their role recently discussed[2,3]. Susceptibility to CAD by polymorp...
متن کاملAssociation study of four polymorphisms in the interleukin-7 receptor alpha gene with multiple sclerosis in Eastern Iran
Objective(s): Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with unknown etiology. Various genetics and environmental factors contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease. The interleukin-7 receptor alpha chain (IL-7Ra) was identified as the first non-major histocompatibility complex (non-MHC) MS susceptibility locus. In this study we are tr...
متن کاملAssociation of two Common Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs +45T/G and +276G/T) of ADIPOQ Gene with Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Background: Adiponectin, an adipocyte-secreted hormone, is known to have anti-atherogenic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-diabetic properties. In the present study, the association between two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (+45T/G and +276G/T) of ADIOPQ gene and coronary artery disease (CAD) was assessed in the subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods: Genotypes of two SNPs we...
متن کاملEvaluation of Relationship between Single-nucleotide Polymorphism in TNF-gene Promoter and Susceptibility to Atherosclerosis in Fatemeh Zahra Hospital
Background: Tumor necrosis factor alpha is a proinflammatory cytokine and as polyvalent initial response of inflammatory cells which facilitated through the creation of coronary atherosclerosis . It also seems that the polymorphism and susceptibility to atherosclerosis is related to TNF-α gene promoter. The purpose of this study was to investigate single nucleotide polymorphis...
