Abstract excerpt
Allele frequencies for the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene were determined in a large case-control study of 517 unselected patients with venous thromboembolism and 478 blood donors. The D allele frequency was 0. 53 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.50-0.56] in patients and 0.54 (95% CI 0.50-0.57) in controls, giving an odds ratio for the D allele of 0.97 (95% CI...
