A logistic regression model showed that the presence of genotype with T allele (AT+TT; odds ratio [OR], 2.01; 95% CI, 1.19 to 3.38; P=0.009) or AA genotype (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.30 to 0.84; P=0.009) of the SERPINA3 influences the risk for aneurysmal SAH independently from smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and hypertension.
We investigated the associations between hypertension status and the genotypes of four single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sites in four hypertension-related genes (Angiotensinogen [AGT], Angiotensin I Converting Enzyme [ACE], Angiotensinogen II receptor, subtype 1 [AGTR1], and Alpha 1-Antichymotrypsin [ACT or SERPINA3]), in an African American sample.
