the activity of angiotension converting enzyme (ace; omim: 106180) in different brain regions of patients with schizophrenia changed, suggesting a possible involvement of ace in psychiatric disorders. genetic polymorphism of insertion/deletion (i/d; dbsnp rs4646994) in the gene encoding ace has been well defined.the present case-control study was performed on 363 (268 males, 95 females) in-pati...

The variants of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) genes might be involved in the pathogenesis of end stage renal disease (ESRD) and hypertension. We studied the ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) and MMP-7 A-181G variants in 99 unrelated ESRD patients and 117 individuals without renal complications from Western Iran with Kurdish ethnic background. The frequency ...

let $g$ be a simple graph of order $n$. the domination polynomial of $g$ is the polynomial $d(g, x)=sum_{i=gamma(g)}^{n} d(g,i) x^{i}$, where $d(g,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $g$ of size $i$ and $gamma(g)$ is the domination number of $g$. in this paper we present some families of graphs whose domination polynomials are unimodal.

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...
