Insertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene in patients with hypertension, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and coronary heart disease in Taiwan.

Abstract excerpt

An insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene has been identified that determines most of the plasma ACE activity genetically. Association of the D allele with insulin sensitivity and of the D/D genotype with coronary heart disease (CHD) has been reported in various ethnic populations. To study the role of this genetic polymorphism in patients with hypertension,...
