Association of angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion polymorphism with type 1 diabetic nephropathy: a meta-analysis

Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to systematically evaluate the effect of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) gene polymorphism on type 1 diabetic nephropathy (DN

“…However, the correlation between ACE I/D and DN remains controversial. Our findings from the present meta-analysis are consistent with the findings of the previous meta-analyses, in which significant association between the ACE gene I/D and DN risk was inferred (65)(66)(67). In support of this higher ACE activity level was documented in DD and ID+DD carriers (40).…”

“…The more severe prognosis of patients of older age may also been related to distinct mechanisms, such as the age-associated decline in the molecular machinery involved in removing cytosolic DNA [98]. Also, patients with hypertension or diabetes show high rate of ACE2 genetic polymorphism that could influence ACE2 or Ang1-7 levels in the human body [64,[99][100][101]. Therefore, a negative correlation between ACE2 expression and mortality has been suggested [64].…”

“…13,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] Other meta-analysis reports performed in different diabetic diseases confirm significant association. [36][37][38] The strength of this current study was implemented the purely Saudi women to identify the accurate risk in the Saudi population. The non-Saudi women has been excluded as this is a major part of this study.…”
