In view of the clinical importance of angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) as a major
marker for cardiovascular diseases, we investigated insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of …

Objectives: To determine whether the contributions of genetics and bicuspid aortic valve
(BAV) independently influence aortic (Ao) dimensions. Background: Ao dilation is a risk …

Background We analyzed an insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin I–
converting enzyme (ACE) gene in 1226 subjects from the Caerphilly Prospective Heart …

Background Conventional risk factors for thoracic aortic aneurysm including dissection
(TAA) are thought to include age, arteriosclerosis, and hypertension. In addition, evidence …

Background: The study of the association between genotype and phenotype is of great
importance for the prediction of many diseases and pathophysiological conditions. The …

Aims Cardiac angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) activity is influenced by the ACE I/D
polymorphism. Evidence suggests that the DD-genotype may be a risk factor for cardiac …

Background It has been reported that the D allele of an insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism
of the angiotensin I–converting enzyme (ACE) gene is associated with conditions of …

An insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the gene for angiotensin‐converting enzyme
(ACE) is associated with myocardial infarction and other cardiac pathology. There is …

Genetic factors are important in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism is one of …

The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is an integral part of two enzymatic cascades,
one leading to the generation of angiotensin II and the other to the degradation of …
