Association between ACE gene I/D polymorphism and knee osteoarthritis in a Chinese population

Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by joint destruction with cartilage loss and occasional gross derangement of joint integrity. In recent years, several studies have reported the association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and knee OA. However, the results were conflicting. To determine the association between ACE gene I/D polymorphism and knee OA, we conducted a hospital-based case–control study with 282 knee OA cases and 3… Show more

“…The ACE I/D polymorphism consists in the presence (insertion, I) or absence (deletion, D) of a 287 base pair fragment in intron 16 of ACE gene [7]. The ACE gene produces the protein ACE, which converts angiotensin (AngI) into angiotensin II (AngII), a potent vasoactive peptide that leads to effects mainly hypertensive, highlighting its role in the physiology of blood vessels and inflammation [5,8]. Indeed, higher plasma levels of ACE have been reported when the D allele was present [5], accordingly, the ACE DD genotype has been established as an independent risk factor of CVD and hypertension [6,9].…”

“…In addition, including studies with different populations of patients (patients with osteoarthritis other than knee) is inappropriate according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Review because it will also have an impact on the increased heterogeneity between studies. 23 On the other hand, we fully adhere to the Cochrane guidelines where only studies with knee OA population were included in the analysis and discarded the study by Inanir A et al 22 Instead, we included 1 additional study by Chen G et al 17 published in 2019 which was not included in the previous meta-analysis by Lin C et al 18 …”

“…Genes that contribute to the inflammatory process associated with the development of OA include those within the renin-angiotensin (RA) system 14 . The cascade of the RA system begins with Angiotensinogen, which is converted by the renin enzyme into Angiotensin I (Ang-I).…”
