Distribution of ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in Iranian populations
نویسنده
چکیده مقاله:
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 other and with other populations. Prevalence of the D allele was 0.5886 (95% CI: 0.5725-0.6047) in Iran. There was significant difference between Iranian populations (Chi2=27.7, df=6, P2=10.15, df=5, P=0.071). The D allele showed high frequency in Iran which is similar to Caucasians.

متن کاملThe relationship between ACE gene ID polymorphism and aerobic capacity in Asian rugby players.
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to analyse the association between the ACE ID polymorphism and aerobic capacity in a homogeneous cohort of national Asian rugby players. METHODS 17 subjects recruited during active training had their maximal oxygen uptake (V0 2 max) and ventilatory threshold (VT) measured during maximal exercise testing. ACE genotyping was performed for all players. RE...
متن کاملACE polymorphism in asthmatic patients
Background The aim of the this study was to analyse if there is an association between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism (287 base pairs, on chromosome 17q23, intron 16 (rs4340)) with asthma severity. ACE plays a vital role in the renin-angiotensinsystem (RAS) which regulates blood pressure by converting angiotensin I into a powerful vasoconstrictor angio...
متن کاملAce Gene Polymorphism
Discrepancies in angiotensin-1 converting enzyme (ACE) allele genetic susceptibility with disease etiology have been attributed to ethnic differences. We investigated ACE gene polymorphism of the multiethnic Malaysian population by utilizing nested polymerase chain reaction. Allelic frequency of 0.65 and 0.35 for I and D allele, respectively in the pooled population was comparable with other As...
متن کاملPolymorphism of Prion Protein Gene (PRNP) in Iranian Holstein and Two Local Cattle Populations (Golpayegani and Sistani) of Iran
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a fatal infectious neurodegenerative disease in cattle, characterized by the accumulation of an abnormal, proteaseresistant prion protein (PrPSc) in the brain. BSE is similar to scrapie in sheep and goats and Creuzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. Susceptibility in cattle hasbeen shown to be under the influence of two polymorphic locations, which are...
