Angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphisms and the risk of glioma in an Algerian population

Prevalence of genetic polymorphisms of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (insertion/deletion) in Sétif population, Algeria

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 w...

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis

Angiotensin-I Converting Enzyme Gene Polymorphisms and the Risk of Venous Thromboembolism in an Ethnically Chinese Population Living in Taiwan

Background: There have been conflicting reports of the association between the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene, and the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We sought to investigate the association between ACE I/D polymorphism, and the risk of VTE in a Chinese population living in Taiwan. Methods: 176 patients with VTE and 321 age and sex-m...

the study of aaag repeat polymorphism in promoter of errg gene and its association with the risk of breast cancer in isfahan region

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...

Association of angiotensin-converting enzyme gene polymorphisms with Crohn's disease in a Chinese Han population.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphisms alter the susceptibility of a Chinese Han population to Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS Blood samples were collected from patients with CD and from healthy control subjects for analyzing SNP rs4291 (promoter, A262T), SNP rs4343 (exon 16, A11860G), and rs4646994 (intron 16, Alu insertion/deletion). Allele and...
