Insertion/Deletion (I/D) Polymorphism of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Gene in Steroid-Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome for Children: A Genetic Association Study and Meta-analysis

Abstract excerpt

An assessment of the association of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) risk in children is still controversial. A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the relation between ACE gene polymorphisms and SRNS susceptibility. The relevant studies were screened from electronic database and eligible investigations were...
