Abstract excerpt
Eighty-five young Mauritian Indians, male survivors of premature myocardial infarction (MI) and thus belonging to a high risk group, were compared with 108 stringently selected controls for a possible association between premature MI and an insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the gene encoding angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE). The frequency of the D allele was 0.42 in the MI group and 0.43 in the...
