چکیده

the aim of the present study was to assess the frequencies of angiotensin i-converting enzyme (ace; omim: 106180) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr; omim: 607093) polymorphisms in the algerian population to further facilitate investigations on possible associations with various pathologies. the study was carried out on 146 apparently healthy individuals (65 males, 81 females) who were randomly selected from an algerian population of the setif region (north-eastern algeria). their age ranged from 24 to 48 years. using polymerase chain reaction based methods, genotypic frequencies of mthfr c677t (rs. 1801133) and ace i/d (rs. 1799752) polymorphisms were determined. no significant difference was found between genders regarding the distribution of ace i/d and mthfr c677t polymorphisms. in general, the prevalence of the d allele of the ace polymorphism was 70.5%. the study population was in the hardy-weinberg equilibrium (chi-square=0.55, df=1, p=0.758). the allelic frequency of the 677t allele (for mthfr c677t polymorphism) was 35.3%. the study population was in the hardy-weinberg equilibrium (chi-square=1.05, df=1, p=0.304). the surprisingly high incidence of minor alleles of the polymorphisms among our population requires further studies in vascular and other diseases.

Lack of association between polymorphisms in angiotensin-converting-enzyme and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase genes and normal cognitive ageing in humans.

The hypothesis that polymorphisms at two candidate genes that code for angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) are associated with normal cognitive ageing was tested using a sample (n=536) of healthy 80-year-old people who were born in 1921 and whose cognitive ability at age 11 was measured in the Scottish Mental Survey 1932. Cognitive ability at age ...

Association of Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) Gene C677T and A1298C Polymorphisms with Myocardial Infarction From North of Fars Province

Background: The association between Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphism and Coronary Artery diseases risk has been both confirmed and refuted in a number of published studies. The aim of this study was to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms of MTHFR (C677T, A1298C) contributed to the development of myocardial infarction (MI). Materials and Methods: The present case-contro...

Angiotensin converting enzyme and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene variations in fibromyalgia syndrome.

OBJECTIVE Fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) is a common disease characterized by generalized body pain, sensitivity in certain physical areas (sensitive points), lowered pain threshold, sleep disorder, and fatigue. The study aimed to determine the effects ACE I/D and MTHFR C677T gene polymorphisms in Turkish patients with FM and evaluate if there was an association with clinical features. METHODS Th...

Angiotensin I converting enzyme.

• Interest in particular biologically active substances waxes and wanes. Investigators rush into a newly opened field, solve a few problems, and frequently raise more; then they rush out to follow more promising developments elsewhere. However, interest in angiotensins generally has persisted and increased. Observation of the actions of angiotensins has led to the study of enzymes involved in t...
