Abstract excerpt
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) exhibits genetic variation related to insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in intron 16 of the ACE gene. The DD genotype results in high ACE activity and is overrepresented in diseases characterized by left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and dysfunction. We studied whether the ACE gene polymorphism predicts LV mass or function in the absence of heart disease. Polymerase chain...
