Background: Cerebrovascular stroke is a common critical complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). Angiotensinogen (AGT) M235T gene polymorphism is associated with risk of ischemic stroke and cardiovascular disease.
Aim: We investigated the potential association between angiotensinogen M235T gene polymorphism and susceptibility to cerebrovascular and cardiopulmonary complications in adolescents with SCD.
