Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: The G8790A (rs2285666) functional polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) gene influences alternative mRNA splicing and quantitatively affects the enzyme's production. Specifically, the presence of the A allele has been associated with higher ACE2 plasma levels. In this study, we investigated the possible association of the functional polymorphism ACE2-G8790A with the...
