Abstract excerpt
Previous investigations of the ACE gene as a susceptibility factor for diabetic nephropathy have primarily focused on its insertion/deletion (Ins/Del) polymorphism. In a departure from these earlier studies, we used three tagging markers (A-5466C, T-3892C, and Ins/Del) at the ACE locus to test for disease haplotype associations. A case-control study design was used where case subjects were type 2 diabetic...
