Of interest, the SNP +1166A/C or A1166C (rs5186), which is located in the 3’ UTR of AT1R gene is recognized by miR-155 [72] and results in altered AT1R protein expression in a cohort of hypertensive patients [73] or in patients with advanced carotid atherosclerosis [74]. The gene discussed is AGTR1; the disease is carotid atherosclerosis.
