Abstract excerpt
One of the genes that is supposed to influence renal graft function is the one encoding angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE). It shows polymorphism in the presence (I allele) or absence (D allele) of a 287-base pair fragment. The question arises whether ACE gene polymorphism of the recipient and donor influences renal graft survival. This prospective study included 94 recipients who underwent ACE genotyping (DD,...
