Insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism at the locus for angiotensin I-converting enzyme and myocardial infarction.

Clinical genetics - 1 Dec 1993

Abstract excerpt

Male (n = 185) and female (n = 49) survivors of myocardial infarction (MI) below 56 and 61 years of age, respectively, were compared to 366 controls with respect to distribution of genotypes in an insertion/deletion (ID) polymorphism at the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) locus. The frequency of the DD genotype (homozygosity for the deletion allele) was significantly lower among male patients than controls...
