Could malaria explain the global distribution of the angiotensin converting enzyme I/D polymorphism? A systematic review and ecological study

2020-10-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> : The D-allele of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE1) has been linked to an increased risk of certain diseases including hypertension and COVID-19 but a decreased risk of cerebral malaria. We hypothesized that malaria played a role in determining variations in the global distribution of ACE1 I/D polymorphism. <h4>Method: </h4> s: A systematic review was conducted to summarize the freque...
