Abstract

Polymorphism of the gene encoding components of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone synthase system (RAAS) represents an area of intense research of cardiovascular disease associations. Numerous studies have addressed the role of RAAS gene polymorphisms in the development and progression of renal disease. Also, it has been reported that patient with ACE (DD) and angiotensinogen AGT (TT) genotypes are associated with chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD). We investigated the effects of gene polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system in renal transplant patients (81 males and 50 females; mean age 29.6+/-10.2 years). Genotypes were determined using polymerase chain reaction sequence specific primers and PCR followed by RFLP analysis. Renal allograft recipients with chronic allograft dysfunction had significantly higher frequencies of the MM genotype than those without CAD (P<0.05). The other genetic polymorphisms of the RAAS were not associated with CAD. This study proves that determination of AGT M235T genotype before transplantation may help identify patients who are at risk for chronic renal transplant dysfunction.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
