Distribution of the AGT T174M and AGTR1 A1166C polymorphic markers of cardiovascular diseases among populations of Algeria, Syria and Central Russia

Abstract

We investigated the distribution of the AGT T174M and AGTR1 A1166C polymorphisms, which predispose to cardiovascular diseases, among Algerians, Syrians and Russians from Central Russia. The genotypes were determined with the use ofallele-specific PCR. A significant difference between the studied samples was revealed in the T174M genotype distribution, whereas no significant difference was found in case of the A1166C polymorphism.
