The M235T polymorphism in the angiotensinogen gene and myocardial infarction risk: A meta-analysis

Abstract: Coronary artery disease (CAD) arises as a complex-trait disease that includes myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary atherosclerosis; the role of genetic and environmental risk factors promotes the development of the disorder. The classic risk factors include family history, body mass index, smoking habits, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and serum lipid levels. In addition, genetic factors also play important roles in the pathogenesis of CAD. It has been estimated that approximately 50% of the variability of… Show more

“…Besides, G‐6A and A‐20C mutations in AGT gene 5 'end can increase the transcription level of AGT gene and increase its gene expression, the mutations at the two sites were linkage imbalance with M235T, indicating that M235T may be only a genetic marker, G‐6A and A‐20C may be the direct cause of increased plasma AGT levels. We failed to demonstrate the genotype and allele distribution frequency of AGT gene polymorphisms (M235T, G217A, G152A, G‐6A, and A‐20C) between CAD and non‐CAD patients, although it has been reported that AGT gene M235T may be a susceptible factor for myocardial infarction in a Chinese population, which may be related to the difference of the subjects.…”

“…In addition, subgroup analysis based on ethnicity was used to investigate and interpret the diversity among the results of different studies. Sensitivity analysis was performed by using random effect values compared with the fixed effect in order to ensure the stability of the findings (16). Publication bias was investigated using Begg’s funnel plot and P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant publication bias.…”

“…Betweenstudy heterogeneities were estimated using the I 2 test. I 2 values of 25, 50, and 75% were defined as low, moderate, and high estimates, respectively (Wang and Pan, 2014). If a heterogeneity was found among the studies, the pooled OR was estimated using the fixedeffect model (P > 0.10 or I 2 < 50%).…”
