Background Essential hypertension is a major public health concern worldwide where its
prevalence accounts for various cerebrovascular diseases. A common molecular variant of …

Objective To examine the association of the molecular variants of the angiotensinogen
(AGT) gene with essential hypertension in Taiwanese. Methods We conducted a case …

Objective The angiotensinogen gene has been linked with human essential hypertension in
whites but the relationship in Asian populations has been less consistent. This study aimed …

Background Elevated level of angiotensinogen (AGT), a major precursor in the hypertension
pathogenesis, is governed by the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of AGT M235T …

Background We evaluated the association among the M235T and T174M variants of the
angiotensinogen (AGT) gene, plasma AGT, and hypertension status in a sample of …

Objective In this meta-analysis, we attempted to derive pooled estimates for the putative
associations between various cardiovascular–renal disorders and the M235T polymorphism …

Essential hypertension is a complex multifactorial disease caused by interactions between
genetic and environmental factors. It is an independent determinant of cardiovascular risk …

Objective: To investigate the gene frequency of the T235 allele and its relationship with
hypertension in two Japanese populations. Methods: T235 was investigated by restriction …

A common variant at codon 235 of the angiotensinogen gene with methionine to threonine
amino acid substitution (AGT M235T) has been reported as a genetic risk for essential …

The pathogenesis of essential hypertension (EH) is affected by genetic and environmental
factors. Mutations in hypertension-related genes can affect blood pressure (BP) via …
