Abstract excerpt
The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) has been suggested to affect blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. Results from literature on the role of the frequent insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the ACE gene in venous thromboembolism (VTE) are controversial. Only limited data on ACE serum levels inVTE exist. We determined the ACE I/D polymorphism by genotyping and ACE serum levels by an enzymatic assay in 100...
