ABSTRACT
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major health problem around the world. The development of CVD is a complex process, and evidence demonstrates that family history is associated with CVD. The most common forms of CVD are believed to be multifactorial and to result from many genes, each with a small effect working alone or in combination with modifier genes or environmental factors. A large number of candidate gene associatin studies have been conducted for myocardial infarction and atherosclerotic CVD. Variants of the ACE, AGT, AGTR1, APOA5, APOE, CYP11B2, eNOS, FII, FVL, MTHFR, PA11, and genes in general population of Buenos Aires have been examined in the present study; allele frequency, genotype frequency and Hardy Weinberg equilibrium were analyzed in all cases.
