Abstract:Background
Emerging evidences suggest that the angiotensin receptor type 1 (AT1R) contributes heavily to the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI). Herein, we examined a potential link between AT1R gene polymorphisms and ACI risk among a Southern Han Chinese population.
Methods
The rs3772616, rs275645, and rs377262 AT1R polymorphisms were genotyped in 689 ACI patients and 712 healthy controls, using the iMLDR-TM assay.
