Abstract excerpt
This study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that deletion/insertion (D/I) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene may contribute to increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD). A case-control study was carried out to examine the association between the ACE genotype and the allele frequency in 127 sporadic PD patients compared with 198 healthy controls. The frequency of the homozygote...
