Association amongst human A1166C polymorphism of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene with coronary artery disease in the Iraqi population.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of death worldwide. There is relatively little data available on the genetic susceptibility to CAD in the Iraqi population. We have therefore investigated the association between angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene polymorphism A1166C and the presence of CAD in a sample of the Iraqi population.

Methods

This case-control study enrolled 150 CAD patients, with CAD confirmed by coronary angiography, and 200 controls. The AT1R polymorphism A1166C was analyzed by the allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) technique. Serum analyses, such as lipid concentrations, were measured and analyzed.

Results

The C allele and CC genotype frequencies were significantly higher in patients with CAD compared to the controls.
