Introduction and objectives: Decoding the genetic basis of coronary artery disease (CAD) through an intermediate phenotype – coronary calcification – can help us to better understand this deadly disease and enable the creation of better therapeutic strategies. This work aims to assess the relationship between a set of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously associated with CAD and coronary artery calc...
INTRODUCTION: Coronary artery disease (CAD), characterized by an atherogenic process in the coronary arteries, is one of the leading causes of death in Madeira. The GENEMACOR (GENEs in MAdeira and CORonary Disease) study sought to investigate the main risk factors - environmental and genetic - and estimate whether a genetic risk score (GRS) improves CAD prediction, discrimination and reclassification. METHODS: ...

Introdução: A hipertensão arterial é uma doença complexa, multifatorial, controlada por fatores genéticos e ambientais. Objetivo: Avaliar a susceptibilidade genética no aparecimento de hipertensão arterial e sua associação com os fatores de risco tradicionais na eclosão desta patologia. Material e Métodos: Estudo caso-controlo com 1712 indivíduos, idade média de 51,0 ± 7,9 anos (860 hipertensos e 852 controlos)...
Hypertension is an important public health problem, affecting about 25% of the adult population worldwide.1 Genetic and environmental factors contribute to its pathogenesis. The T allele of the C825T polymorphism of the beta 3 subunit of G protein (rs5443) leads to the production of a truncated variant that enhances intracellular signaling and may interfere with the regulation of blood pressure. This genetic va...
