Abstract excerpt
A synergistic interaction between the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism within the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and an A/C transversion at nucleotide position 1166 within the angiotensin II sub-type 1 receptor (AT1R) gene on risk of myocardial infarction has been reported. The risk associated with the ACE DD genotype increased with the number of AT1R C alleles present. To investigate this further,...
