angiotensin- converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism and its association with coronary artery disease in an iranian population
background: the study of the association between genotype and phenotype is of great importance for the prediction of many diseases and pathophysiological conditions. the relationship between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) gene insertion/ deletion (i/d) polymorphism and pathological processes such as coronary artery disease (cad) has been investigated previously with discordant results. thi...
متن کاملTraditional risk factors and angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphism in coronary artery disease.
We investigated whether the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and serum ACE levels are associated with traditional risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD). We enrolled 250 individuals without CAD and 750 individuals suffering from CAD who were angiographically diagnosed. Biochemical risk factors, the ACE (I/D) gene polymorphism, and ACE ...
متن کاملAngiotensin I-converting enzyme gene polymorphism, coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction. An angiographically controlled study.
OBJECTIVES We investigated the association between insertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene, the presence and extent of coronary artery disease, and myocardial infarction. BACKGROUND The D allele of the ACE gene has been associated with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction, but this association has been challenged in epidemiological studie...
متن کاملInsertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin converting enzyme gene in coronary artery disease in southern Turkey.
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 genetic factor found to be related with CAD. We investigated the association between I/D polymorphism of the ACE gene and the presence of CAD. Three hundred and seven patients (187 males and 120 females, aged between 35-...
متن کاملAssociation of angiotensin-converting enzyme, methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase and paraoxonase gene polymorphism and coronary artery disease in an Indian population.
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) and cancer remain the leading causes of death in most developed countries. Elucidating the genetic components that contribute to their pathogenesis is challenging. In this case-control association study, we examine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in paraoxonase 573 A/G genes, methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677 C/T ...
