Sentence |
denotes |
The M235T polymorphism of the angiotensinogen gene in South Indian patients of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. |
| T2 |
108-121 |
Sentence |
denotes |
INTRODUCTION: |
| T3 |
122-253 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a complex disorder and genetically transmitted cardiac disease with a diverse clinical course. |
| T4 |
254-448 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The objective of the present study was to examine the association of the T704C polymorphism of exon 2 of the angiotensinogen (AGT) gene with HCM in a South Indian population from Andhra Pradesh. |
| T5 |
449-470 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Subjects and methods. |
| T6 |
471-746 |
Sentence |
denotes |
One-hundred and fifty HCM (90 sporadic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [SHCM] and 60 familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy [FHCM]) patients and 165 age- and sex-matched normal healthy controls without known hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy were included in the study. |
| T7 |
747-980 |
Sentence |
denotes |
DNA was isolated from peripheral leukocytes and the region of interest in the AGT gene bearing a missense mutation methionine to threonine substitution at codon 235 (M235T) of exon 2, was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). |
| T8 |
981-1060 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The PCR products were subjected to restriction digestion with the enzyme SfaNI. |
| T9 |
1061-1069 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
| T10 |
1070-1229 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Significant differences were detected in genotypic distribution (p = 0.04) as well as the allelic frequency (p = 0.003) between the SHCM patients and controls. |
| T11 |
1230-1286 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The polymorphism did not show any association with FHCM. |
| T12 |
1287-1298 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSION: |
| T13 |
1299-1440 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our results suggest that the T allele of the AGT gene is significantly associated with SHCM in a South Indian population from Andhra Pradesh. |
| T14 |
1441-1521 |
Sentence |
denotes |
However, we did not find significant association of this polymorphism with FHCM. |
