OBJECTIVE: The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is highly expressed in the
aneurysmal vascular wall, in both animal models and human disease. Genetic variations in …

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

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 …

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene
polymorphism in patients with degenerative aortic valve calcification (AVC). PATIENTS AND …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is a catastrophic cardiovascular disease and is thought to
have a genetic basis. Various studies have indicated that renin-angiotensin system plays an …

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 …
