Abstract excerpt
A total of 361 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes were studied for the association between peripheral vascular disease (PVD) and the insertion/deletion polymorphism involving a 287-bp alu repeat sequence at intron 16 of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene. The patients were divided into PVD (+) (n=45) and PVD (-) (n=316) based on an ankle-brachial index <0.9 and > or =0.9, respectively. Polymerase...
