Angiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphism in type II diabetics with nephropathy

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Gene Polymorphism in Iranian Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Background: Angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) is a Zinc metalloproteinase, converts Ang-I to Ang- II, a pro-inflammatory agent which may contribute to pathophysiology of some diseases like type 2 diabetes. Objective: To investigate the relationship between ACE I/D polymorphism and type 2 diabetes in 261 Iranian casecontrol pairs. Methods: 170 patients (85 type 2 diabetics with nephropathy a...

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ace) Gene Insertion Deletion Polymorphism and Its Association with Type 2 Diabetic Nephropathy

angiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphism in iranian patients with type 2 diabetes

background: angiotensin i converting enzyme (ace) is a zinc metalloproteinase, converts ang-i to ang- ii, a pro-inflammatory agent which may contribute to pathophysiology of some diseases like type 2 diabetes. objective: to investigate the relationship between ace i/d polymorphism and type 2 diabetes in 261 iranian casecontrol pairs. methods: 170 patients (85 type 2 diabetics with nephropathy a...

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis

association of angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) gene polymorphism and diabetic nephropathy

angiotensin i-converting enzyme (ace) gene polymorphism; genotype dd or d allele may be involved with an increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy (dn). we examined the frequency of ace gene polymorphism in 170 patients (85 type 2 diabetes with nephropathy and 85 without it) in tehran, iran. dna was extracted from the white blood cells and the i/d polymorphism of the ...
