Abstract excerpt
The homozygous deletion allele of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene (ACE/DD), homozygous threonine allele of the angiotensinogen gene (AGN/TT), and the epsilon4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene (apoE/epsilon4) are reported to be associated with ischemic heart disease. Cerebral infarction (CI) is another atherosclerotic disease, and the effects of these polymorphisms on CI have been confusing. The...
