The frequency and distribution of angiotensin converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) polymorphism, and its association with other known risk factors for coronary atherosclerosis, has been studied, in a normal south Italian population. Subjects homozygous for deletion showed elevated fasting
An insertion(I)/deletion(D) polymorphism in the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene seems to be associated with clinical heart disease in patients with diabetes mellitus.
