Evaluation of angiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphism and susceptibility to bronchial asthma among Egyptians.

Allergologia et immunopathologia - 1 Jan 2000

El-Shafei M S, Farres M N, Shahin R Y

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is expressed at high levels in the lungs and plays a role in the metabolism of the endogenous peptides involved in asthma pathogenesis. ACE gene polymorphisms have been reported to be linked to asthma. However, the results are conflicting, with no reported studies on Egyptian asthmatics. We aimed to assess ACE gene polymorphism among Egyptian asthmatics, and to...
