Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is thought to influence susceptibility, disease progression, and/or outcome of sarcoidosis by functional mutations/polymorphisms of the ACE gene, such as the ACE gene deletion/insertion (D/I) polymorphism or the angiotensin receptors like the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT2R1) A1166 --> C polymorphism. The aim of our study was to examine the distribution of the ACE D/I...
