The role of an advanced glycation end product/receptor for advanced glycation end product (AGE/RAGE) system in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) is not fully understood. To clarify whether polymorphisms of the RAGE gene were related to CAD, we performed a case-control study in Chinese Han patients. The allele frequencies and genotype distribution combinations of the -429T/C, 1704G/T and G82S polymorphisms of the RAGE gene were compared in 200 cases of hypertension (HT), 155 cases of CAD combined with HT (CAD&HT), 175 cases of CAD and 170 control subjects. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism was used for detection of genotypic variants. The S allele frequency of the G82S polymorphism was higher in the CAD (odds ratio (OR), 2.303, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.553-3.416; P
