Abstract excerpt
The goal of this work was to verify the hypothesis about the possible role of some genes of the renin-angiotensin system in the innate immunity to tuberculosis. The insertion/deletion polymorphism (I/D) of the gene of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is known to have an effect on the concentration of the angiotensin II in human body and also an indirect effect on various branches of metabolism. On the one...
