The powerful association of angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism and idiopathic recurrent pregnancy loss

association of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (pai-1) and angiotensin converting enzyme polymorphisms with recurrent pregnancy loss in iranian women

background: recurrent pregnancy loss (rpl) defined by two or more failed pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation. several factors play a role in rpl including thrombophilic conditions which can be influenced by gene polymorphisms. plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (pai-1) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) genes are closely related to fibrinolytic process, embryonic development and pregna...

significant correlation of angiotensin converting enzyme and glycoprotein iiia genes polymorphisms with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss in north of iran

background: spontaneous abortion is considered as the most complex problem during pregnancy. thrombophilia is resumed as a cause of recurrent pregnancy loss (rpl). glycoprotein iiia (gpiiia) gene is involved in thrombosis and abortion. angiotensin converting enzyme (ace) converts angiotensin i to angiotensin ii and is involved in thrombosis. the most common polymorphism in this gene is the inse...

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Sarcoidosis

Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Genetic Polymorphism

Indeed, the sample size limitation is a universal bias in all of the genetic polymorphisms in heart failure and the ACE-genotype was no different. The metanalysis by Bai et al.1. with 17 different studies included 2.453 cases (i.e. heart failure patients) from all over the world with only 60.3% being white individuals. The author concluded that there was no association between ACE DD genotype a...
