Characterization of Ornithine TransCarbamylase (OTC) gene polymorphisms in the West Algerian population and association with myocardial infarction

Objective - The polymorphism rs5963409 of the gene coding for Ornithine Trans- Carbamylase (OTC) has been shown to be associated with hypertension and coronary vasomotricity in Caucasian populations. On the basis of these results, we chose to study the association of two polymorphisms rs5963409, lo...
