Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of polymorphism in angiotensin converting enzyme gene (ACE, I/D) in the development of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated 829 individuals in 4 groups: AAA (n = 133), AIOD (n = 152), control (n = 152), and a random Polish population group (n = 392). ACE I/D gene polymorphism...
