Several AGT variants, including the rs4762 (p.M207T, also formerly known as p.T174M) and rs699 (p.M268T, also referred to as p.M235T), have been associated with susceptibility to various cardiovascular risk traits, such as primary hypertension (HTN) [4-10] and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) [11,12], that are linked to the development of CAD.
