Abstract excerpt
Premature coronary artery disease (PCAD) is known to have a particularly strong genetic component. We aimed to investigate the association between angiotensin II receptor type 1 (ATR1) or type II (ATR2) genes polymorphisms and PCAD with or without metabolic syndrome in males. 132 male patients with PCAD and 132 controls were included in the study. ATR1 and ATR2 genes polymorphisms were analyzed by polymerase...
