Frequency of a deletion polymorphism in the gene for angiotensin converting enzyme is increased in African-Americans with hypertension.

American journal of hypertension - 1 Aug 1994

Duru K, Farrow S, Wang J M, Lockette W, Kurtz T

Abstract excerpt

In white populations, a deletion polymorphism in the gene for angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) appears to be associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction but not for hypertension. In a population-association study in African-Americans, we compared the frequency of the ACE deletion polymorphism in subjects with hypertension versus those with normal blood pressure. The frequency of the ACE deletion...
