I: 2.0528, 95% CI: 1.3632-3.0912, p=0.001) while no significant risk was obtained for HSP in the subjects both with the MT + TT genotype (p=0.312, OR: 1.3905, 95% T vs. M: 1.065, 95% CI: 0.7326-2.6391) and T allele (OR: patients were stratified by the presence of certain systemic complications of HSP, no significant association was detected with ACE I/D, and AGT M235T polymorphisms.
Three RAS genotypes were examined in 114 children with HSP and in 164 healthy children: the angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion polymorphism, the M235T mutation in the angiotensinogen gene (Agt), and the A1166C in the angiotensin II type I receptor (AT1R) gene.
