Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that the incidence of coronary restenosis after a percutaneous coronary intervention is much higher in patients with a 287-bp alu repeat sequence within intron 16 of the angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene (deletion allele) than in others, but published studies are conflicting. METHODS: The presence (insertion) or absence (deletion) of a 287-bp alu repeat sequence within...
