Angiotensin-converting enzyme gene 2350 G/A polymorphism and susceptibility to atrial fibrillation in Han Chinese patients with essential hypertension
OBJECTIVE The angiotensin-converting enzyme gene is one of the most studied candidate genes related to atrial fibrillation. Among the polymorphisms of the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene, the 2350 G/A polymorphism (rs4343) is known to have the most significant effects on the plasma angiotensin-converting enzyme concentration. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of...
متن کاملAngiotensin 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...
متن کاملAngiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphism and activity in Turkish patients with essential hypertension.
Studies in various ethnic groups have shown contradictory evidence on the association of the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/ deletion (I/D) polymorphism with essential hypertension. We conducted a case-control study in Samsun, Turkey, to examine the association between ACE genotype, ACE serum activity, and blood pressure. Serum ACE activity was measured and ACE I/D polymorphism p...
متن کاملAngiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphism and its association with essential hypertension in a Tibetan population.
There is strong evidence to support the idea that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension (EH) and its complications. However, existing data about the association of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism with blood pressure is conflicting, mainly due to racial differences and environmental ...
متن کاملAssociation between angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphism and atrial fibrillation: a meta-analysis.
AIMS Recent observations have raised concerns regarding the activation of the renin-angiotensin system and the development of atrial fibrillation (AF). Some initial studies indicated an association between an angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) polymorphism and AF, however, the results have been inconsistent. Our aim was to perform a meta-analysis of relevant studies to a...
