Polymorphism of the salt sensitivity gene angiotensinogen and gastric cancer risk.

Abstract excerpt

A high-salt diet is a risk factor for gastric cancers other than those caused by Helicobacter pylori. The angiotensinogen (AGT) M235T polymorphism has been associated with salt sensitivity. The aim of the present study was to clarify the association between the AGT M235T polymorphism and gastric cancer. The AGT M235T polymorphism was genotyped using PCR-RFLP analysis in 206 gastric cancers and 210 control...
