Association between angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion gene polymorphism and end-stage renal disease susceptibility

Abstract: Background and objective:The association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) gene polymorphism and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) risk is still controversial. A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and ESRD susceptibility. Method: A predefined literature search and selection of eligible relevant studies were performed to collect data from electronic databases. Conclusions:The results of our study support the idea that D alle… Show more

“…4,[14][15][16] Dysfunction of ACE generation brought by the ACE I/D gene polymorphism might be considered as an important deterioration factor to be associated with sepsis susceptibility and sepsis progression. There was a rare genetic molecular marker to predict the onset of sepsis and sepsis progression.…”

“…3 The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/ deletion (I/D) gene polymorphism is a 287-bp sequence of DNA in the intron 16 of the ACE gene, and the ACE gene includes either an insertion (I) allele or a deletion (D) allele that form three possible genotypes: II, ID or DD. 4,5 ACE, directly involved in the process of cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and angiogenesis, 6 can convert angiotensin I into angiotensin II, and angiotensin II is the main effector molecule of the renin-angiotensin system, is pleiotropic, and is a mediator of the development and progression of diseases. 7 The ACE I/D gene polymorphism, correlating with circulating ACE concentration, might be implicated in the etiology of sepsis and has been investigated in some epidemiologic studies.…”

“…22 The increased level of ACE is associated with the pathogenesis of renal disease. ACE I/D polymorphism has been studied extensively in relation to ESRD 23,24 ; however, the findings of these studies remain controversial. Previous studies have indicated that a significant association exists between the DD gene and ESRD risk in Caucasians 25,26 and East Asians 27,28 ; however, this association is not observed in the Turkish population.…”

“…ESRD is an increasing problem worldwide and is a major health problem associated with very high morbidity and mortality 1,2 . Patients with ESRD must receive a kidney transplant or live on dialysis 1,3 . Reduction in serum 1,25 (OH) (2)D level plays an important role in the pathophysiology of altered bone and mineral metabolism among patients with advanced stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD).…”
