The association between angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene variant and risk of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The association of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) gene polymorphism with the risk of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is still controversial. A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and FSGS susceptibility. METHOD: We performed a predefined literature search and selection of eligible relevant...
