Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The insertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and the A1166C polymorphism of the angiotensin-II AT1 receptor (AT1R) have been extensively investigated as possible risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI). DESIGN AND METHODS: Genetic association, case-control study, specifically designed to investigate the association of the above-mentioned polymorphisms with risk of...
