Association of angiotensin converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphism with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome susceptibility in children: a meta-analysis
Background and objective: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene contains either an insertion (I) allele or a deletion (D) allele forming three potential genotypes: II, ID and DD. The D allele or DD genotype has been reported to be associated with higher plasma ACE level. An assessment of the asso...
