The D allele of angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphism is associated with the severity of atherosclerosis.

Clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine - 1 Jan 2008

Niemiec Pawel, Zak Iwona, Wita Krystian

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Angiotensin II is produced primarily by angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) within atherosclerotic lesions and ACE level in plaques correlates with the severity of vessel wall damage. Therefore, we investigated the possible association of ACE gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphi...
