insertion/deletion polymorphisms and serum angiotensin-converting enzyme levels in iranian patients with sarcoidosis

چکیده
background: sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown origin with characterization of small granulomas. angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) is a pathophysiologic marker of sarcoidosis. we present the ace insertion/deletion (i/d) polymorphism in correlation with serum ace level in iranian patients with sarcoidosis. methods: from jan 2014 to jan 2015, 102 iranian patients who histopathologically diagnosed for sarcoidosis and 192 healthy age and sex-matched controls were recruited. pcr was used for detection of i/d polymorphism in ace gene. results: frequency of ii/id/dd genotype in sarcoidosis disease was 17%, 35.5%, and 47.1%, respectively. the frequency of d allele was 0.65. a significant association between i/d genotypes and mean of sace level was seen (dd=85.2±22.9, p <0.001). more frequent genotype in sarcoidosis patients was dd (47%), id genotype (45.9%) was found more in controls. logistic regression analysis adjusting age and sex showed that id to ii (or=0.35, 95%ci=0.17-0.73, p =0.005) and dd to ii (or=2.11, 95%ci=0.98-4.54, p =0.05) could be considered as a predictor factor for the disease activity. no significant model for men in sarcoidosis group was seen, while women with ii/id were associated with a reduced risk for the disease. conclusion: although more regional studies with appropriate statistical scale must be done to provide a better diagnosis and prognostic tool for this disease, this study demonstrates that id and dd genotype could be predictive factors for sarcoidosis.

Insertion/Deletion Polymorphisms and Serum Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Levels in Iranian Patients with Sarcoidosis
BACKGROUND Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease of unknown origin with characterization of small granulomas. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a pathophysiologic marker of sarcoidosis. We present the ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in correlation with serum ACE level in Iranian patients with sarcoidosis. METHODS From Jan 2014 to Jan 2015, 102 Iranian patients who h...
متن کاملSerum Angiotensin Converting Enzyme in Patients with Psoriasis
Background: Controversial data concerning the elevation of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme in psoriasis are reported in the literature. In order to verify whether this abnormality exists in Iranian patients, we performed this study. Method: Serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level was measured in 40 psoriatics. According to clinical forms of psoriasis, patients were further divided into th...
