ACE gene insertion/deletion polymorphism and renal scarring in children with urinary tract infections.

Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, Germany) - 1 Oct 2009

Abstract excerpt

Urinary tract infection is a common bacterial disease that presents during childhood and may lead to renal scarring. Several studies have shown a strong association between the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) deletion polymorphism and renal scarring in children with vesicoureteric reflux (VUR). The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible correlation between the ACE deletion polymorphism and...
