“…In one study, an association analysis using a selected set of single-nucleotide polymorphisms representing the overall haplotypes of AGT gene with AGT levels and hypertension did show that the two distantly related haplotypes À532T/235T and À6G/235M were associated with hypertension but had opposite effects on the serum AGT levels in the two studied populations of African origin which were genetically similar but environmentally diverse. 5 An association between AGT haplotype containing À532T and hypertension was observed among African Americans, which was consistent with previous studies. 4 Perhaps attention should be directed towards target organ damage consequent upon hypertension.…”

“…A family-based study conducted in three populations (Polish, Russian and Italian) reported a positive association between left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and mean wall thickness with the AGT À532T allele in Slavic male offspring but not in Italians. 5 This study is therefore more in agreement with the concept that phenotype-genotype correlations differs in relation to gender and epidemiology, including genetic background and lifestyle. Genetic polymorphisms of RAAS genes could also play a role in arterial stiffness leading to an increased risk of development of lower extremity arterial disease and possibly, other vascular disease.…”

“…This finding is in keeping with other published data on the haplotype structure of the AGT gene. 22,23 Thus, carriers of H2-CA or H3-TA might have an elevated AGT concentration in both plasma and tissues. Our finding that H2-CA or H3-TA carriers had lower PRA is in line with this hypothesis.…”

“…Одно из наиболее крупных исследо-ваний по анализу его влияния на ГЛЖ -семейное ев-ропейское исследование EPOGH (European Project on Genes in Hypertension), в котором обследованы три по-пуляции (польская, русская, итальянская), всего 221 се-мья (384 родителей и 440 детей) [23]. В трех центрах получена зависимость между ММЛЖ и преобладани-ем аллеля А (55,7% против 40,6%), причем зависимость подтверждена только у мужчин.…”
