Abstract excerpt

Asthma is a chronic disease due to inflammation of the airways of lungs that is clinically characterized by variable symptoms including wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath. Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) plays a major role in fibrous tissue formation and is highly expressed in lungs. The main aim of this research work was to study the role of ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism, rs4646994, in...
