Abstract excerpt

Recently, a genetic control of serum ACE (SACE) levels has been suggested by the identification of an insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the ACE gene by Rigat et al. We have also confirmed significant association between ACE gene polymorphism and SACE activities both in controls and sarcoid...
