Decrease with age in frequency of the homozygous deletional angiotensin-converting enzyme genotype in hypertensive patients.

Clinical and experimental pharmacology & physiology - 1 Nov 1998

Cheung B M, Lau C P, Leung R Y, Tan K C

Abstract excerpt

1. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genotypes in hypertensive patients were studied in order to delineate their cardiovascular risk due to the ACE gene. We hypothesized that the distribution of ACE genotypes may change with age because of the risk of myocardial infarction associated with the homozygous deletional (DD) genotype. 2. A total of 223 subjects were recruited from the Hypertension Outpatient Clinic...
