Absence of Association or Genetic Linkage between the Angiotensin-Converting–Enzyme Gene and Left Ventricular Mass
3 Oct 1996
Abstract excerpt
Background Homozygous carriers of the D allele of the angiotensin-converting–enzyme (ACE) gene have been reported to be at increased risk for various cardiovascular disorders, including left ventricular hypertrophy. We investigated the potential role of the ACE gene in influencing left ventricular mass. Methods Quantitative echocardiographic data and DNA samples were available for 2439 subjects from the...
