Genotyping increases the yield of angiotensin-converting enzyme in sarcoidosis--a systematic review.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: The diagnosis of sarcoidosis is challenging and involves radiological, clinical and paraclinical evaluation, the latter including the measurement of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme activity (s-ACE), which is elevated in about 60% of sarcoidosis patients. The normal inter-individual biological variation of s-ACE is large. Approximately 50% of the variation is due to a genomic insertion/deletion...
