Association of ornithine transcarbamylase gene polymorphisms with hypertension and coronary artery vasomotion.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that the activity of enzymes involved in the urea cycle may modulate nitric oxide (NO) production, arterial vasomotion, and hypertension. Our aim was to determine whether hypertension and coronary vasomotion could be associated with polymorphisms within the ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) gene, located on chromosome X and coding for a key-enzyme of th...
متن کاملassociation of mef2a gene polymorphisms with coronary artery disease
background coronary artery disease (cad) is the most common cause of death worldwide. mef2a directly regulates target genes in the process of muscle development. this gene product is a transcription factor. mef2a protein in homodimer or heterodimer forms binds to a/t-rich cis elements with conserved sequence in promoter, regulator, and enhancer of many genes, which are determining in evolution ...

متن کاملAssociation of lipoprotein lipase gene polymorphisms with coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to test whether the HindIII (+) and PvuII (-) or (+) restriction enzyme-defined alleles are associated with angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a central role in lipid metabolism, hydrolyzing triglyceride in chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. Polymorphic variants of the LPL gene are common ...
متن کاملAssociation of -77T>C and Arg194trp polymorphisms of XRCC1 with risk of coronary artery diseases in Iranian population
Objective(s): Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in both male and female worldwide. The main cause of CAD is the atherosclerosis of coronary arteries, which is, mostly caused by genetic alteration. 50% of such cases occur in mitotic cells where single-strand breaks occur spontaneously or due to ionizing radiation. X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1 (XRCC1) as a ...
