There were independent factors for ischemic stroke: M235T and T174M polymorphisms, smoking, hypertension, and familial history of atherothrombotic disease.
The meta-analysis indicated the significant association of AGT gene polymorphisms (M235T, T174M) with risk of ischemic stroke in the Chinese population.
Our meta-analysis strongly suggested that the AGT M235T and ACE I/D polymorphisms significantly contribute to the risk of ischemic stroke in Han Chinese population.
The association of renin C-4063T and angiotensinogen (AGT) T174M, AGT M235T and AGT A-6G polymorphisms with ischemic stroke of atherosclerotic etiology was investigated in 329 Tunisian patients with stroke and 444 controls.
