altered expression of AGTR1 and AGTR2 with aging may induce mitochondrial dysfunction, the main risk factor for neurodegeneration
Susceptibility
  • contributing in association with ACE to the risk of coronary disease, to diabetic nephropathy and essential hypertension
  • to development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)
  • to fetal growth restriction syndrome
  • to pediatric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with poor outcome
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP , repeat , other
  • increasing the risk of fetal growth restriction syndrome
  • associated with progressive septal hypertrophy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
  • association between SNPs and the development of ROP
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
    Therapy target
  • therapy for hypertension might be optimized by designing compounds that can target the AGTR1 and DRD5
  • targeting AGT/AGTR1 signaling could be a novel therapeutic for breast cancer
