“…Unless no correlation was found between COPD incidence and ACE variants, the I/D polymorphism was shown to be involved into muscular work efficiency in COPD patients. 4 Another study 5 has shown that presence of ACE I-allele may predispose for a stable course of COPD (<3 exacerbations per year). A well-studied 287-bp insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) polymorphism in intron 12 is a known predictive marker for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, with D allele being associated with higher ACE-1 production.…”

“…Angiotensin II is a powerful vasopressor, which regulates blood pressure and fluid and electrolyte balance, chiefly through biosynthesis of aldosterone [53][54] . Association between I/D polymorphism of the ACE gene and the risk for COPD is a very timely and widely studied issue; however, existing data need to be clarified and appended [55][56][57] . The low activity of ACE was recognized to play a positive role in the development of COPD 58 .…”

“…Association between I/D polymorphism of the ACE gene and the risk for COPD is a very timely and widely studied issue; however, existing data need to be clarified and appended (15,26,27). The low activity of ACE was recognized to play a positive role in the development of COPD (28). It is worth noting that the DD genotype of ACE is generally associated with increased circulating and cellular levels of ACE and increased cardiovascular risk (29).…”
