Insertion/deletion polymorphism of angiotensin-converting enzyme and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A case-control study on north Indian population
This research aimed to explore the ACE (insertion/deletion) gene association as key factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development in north Indian population. A total of 200 clinically diagnosed patients with COPD were selected against 200 healthy individuals. Genetic variations of ACE (insertion/deletion) were evaluated by using polymerase chain reaction ...
متن کاملStudy of the correlation between ACE gene polymorphism and coronary artery disease
Introduction: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is an exopeptidase that converts Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor and releases aldosterone, and have a critical role in hypertension. In this study, ACE insertion / deletion (I/D) polymorphism and ACE activity was determined in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and normal subjects. The corr...
متن کاملDistribution of ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in Iranian populations
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE; OMIM: 106180) has an important role in the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II and degradation of bradykinin. Genetic polymorphism I/D (rs4646994) in the gene encoding ACE has been well defined. To get more insight into the genetic structure of Iranian populations, the distribution of the ACE I/D polymorphism among Iranians was compared with each ot...
متن کاملThe association of angiotensin-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphisms with adaptation to high altitude: A meta-analysis
BACKGROUND Fluid retention is linked to the physiology and pathophysiology of humans at high altitude (HA). The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene plays a role in the regulation of plasma volume and vascular tone. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this meta-analysis, eligible studies published before 1 September 2015 that focused on the association between the ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymo...
متن کاملAssociation of high-altitude systemic hypertension with the deletion allele-of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene.
People who visit high-altitude areas are exposed to a stressful environment and a good percentage of them suffer from high-altitude-induced diseases, including systemic hypertension. Identification of genetic markers for high-altitude-induced diseases would help to reduce the rate of morbidity/mortality from such diseases. The development of systemic hypertension on exposure to high altitude (3...
