Plasma Activity and Insertion/Deletion Polymorphism of Angiotensin I–Converting Enzyme
20 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tissue proliferation is almost invariably observed in recurrent lesions within stents, and ACE, a factor of smooth muscle cell proliferation, may play an important role. Plasma ACE level is largely controlled by the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the enzyme gene. The association among restenosis within coronary stents, plasma ACE level, and the I/D polymorphism is analyzed in the present...
