    [Auszug] Pregnancy–induced hypertension (PIH) is a heterogeneous disorder which complicates 5–7% of all pregnancies and remains a leading cause of maternal, fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Severe preeclampsia is the most distinctive and life–threatening form; a ...

    Notes:
    Abstract Genetic polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) have been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) but no relation between these polymorphisms and coronary atherosclerosis has yet been systematically evaluated. The CORGENE study is a cross-sectional study involving 463 Caucasians who underwent standardized coronary angiography for established or suspected CAD [156 patients with a previous myocardial infarction (MI), 307 without MI]. Four angiographic scores assessing the extent and severity of the coronary lesions were obtained from a double visual analysis of each angiogram, arbitration being achieved by a quantitative measurement. Three different genotypes were analyzed: the angiotensin I-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) polymorphism, the Met to Thr change at position 235 of the angiotensinogen gene (AGT M235T) and the A to C transition at position 1166 of the angiotensin II type-1 receptor gene (AT1R A1166C). No significant association was observed between these polymorphisms and the clinical characteristics of MI and non-MI subjects. While most classical risk factors were positively correlated with the angiographic scores, no significant relationship could be established with the three genotypes (r ranging from –0.08 to 0.05). Only one significant correlation was observed: between the presence of the AGT 235T allele and the extent of the coronary lesions (r = –0.19, P = 0.04) in patients with low-risk status. These overall results are not in favor of a role of these RAS genetic polymorphisms in the development of coronary atherosclerosis.
