Objectives—Although polymorphic variations in genes of the RAS system have previously
been associated with susceptibility to AAA, such studies have been significantly limited by …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the role of polymorphisms in angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE,
I/D) and angiotensin II receptor (AT1R, A1166C) in the development of abdominal aortic …

A role of ACE I/D polymorphism in the pathogenesis of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
has been demonstrated, possibly due to the effect of angiotensin II on vascular tissue …

Objectives: the tissue renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which plays an important role in
vascular structure and function, is regulated in part by an insertion-deletion polymorphism of …

Objective and Design to assess if deletion of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
gene is a risk factor for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in normotensive patients …

Abstract Background/Aims: Some studies suggest that polymorphisms in angiotensin-
converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensinogen (AGT), angiotensin II type I receptor (AGTR1) …

Background: Polymorphisms of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1) gene are
associated with essential hypertension and cardiovascular disease, but the correlation …

OBJECTIVE: Angiotensin II induces vasoconstriction and vascular smooth muscle growth via
stimulation of the angiotensin II type I receptor (AGTR1). Some studies have reported an …

Genes that influence the renin-angiotensin system have been investigated in recent years
as potential etiologic candidates of cardiovascular and renal diseases. In atheromatous …

Objective: to establish whether deletion of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene is
a risk factor predisposing to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or not. Methods: the study …
