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 …

OBJECTIVES:: There is strong evidence of a genetic predisposition to abdominal aortic
aneurysm (AAA), however the genes involved remain largely elusive. Recently, two large …

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 …

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of polymorphism in
angiotensin converting enzyme gene (ACE, I/D) in the development of abdominal aortic …

The aim of the paper is to determine whether the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)
gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism is associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm …

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 …

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to examine whether the insertion (I) and deletion
(D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) confers susceptibility to …

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 …

OBJECTIVES Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D polymorphism has been implicated
in aortic aneurysm risk, but individual published studies show inconclusive results. The aim …

Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D polymorphism has been indicated to
be correlated with aortic aneurysm (AA) susceptibility, but study results are still debatable …
