Background/Aim: Several studies have looked at the potential link between angiotensin-
converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and the risk of hypertension …

Aim: The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism has
been reported to be implicated in susceptibility to coronary heart disease (CHD). However …

Angiotensin converting enzyme is a key component of the renin angiotensin system that
plays an important role in cardiovascular regulation. It seems to modulate cardiovascular …

Background: The renin–angiotensin system (RAS), which is important for controlling
haemostasis in the body, can increase the development of essential hypertension (HTN) …

This study examined a possible relationship between genetic variation in the gene coding
for the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and increased risk for coronary heart disease …

The DD genotype of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) polymorphism has been
associated with myocardial infarction (MI). However, sample sizes of many case-control …

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between genotype insertion or
deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene (ACE) and susceptibility …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Stroke is a heterogeneous multifactorial disease. Hence, a
large number of candidate genes are involved in stroke pathophysiology, such as blood …

Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a polygenic disease whose phenotypic
manifestation is due to interaction of a number of environmental factors with an underlying …

Conclusions 1. Insertion/deletion polymorphism in ACE gene does not seem to be
associated with myocardial infarction in the studied Polish population. 2. The obtained …
