Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Insertion/Deletion Gene Polymorphic Variant as a Marker of Coronary Artery Disease<subtitle>A Meta-analysis</subtitle>

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Many studies have investigated the association between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphic variant and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the evidence is inadequate to draw robust conclusions because most studies were generally small and conducted in heterogeneous samples.
