Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To investigate the role of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) (I/D) gene polymorphism in the development of coronary sclerosis after cardiac transplantation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Eighty cardiac transplant recipients (44 transplant associated coronary artery disease; 36 non-transplant associated coronary artery disease) and their donors were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction. The allele frequencies of...
