Differences in Frequency of the Deletion Polymorphism of the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Gene in Different Ethnic Groups

1 Jun 2001

Abstract excerpt

A polymorphism characterized by the insertion or deletion of a 287-bp Alu repeat sequence in intron 16 of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene determines about half the serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level variability among individuals. The deletion polymorphism is associated with higher levels of angiotensin-converting enzyme and perhaps with a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases. The relative...
