Correlation of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 gene polymorphisms with stage 2 hypertension in Han Chinese

Meta-analysis of association of ACE2 G8790A polymorphism with Chinese Han essential hypertension

“…[2][3][4][5][6] Because ACE2 is on the X chromosome, pooled analysis was performed separately in female and male subjects. The five studies on Meta-analysis of association of ACE2 G8790A polymorphism with Chinese Han essential hypertension…”

“…To date, association studies of the ACE2 genotype with Chinese Han essential hypertension have yielded conflicting results. [2][3][4][5][6] In the present study, we investigated whether or not the ACE2 genotype is associated with Chinese Han essential hypertension by performing a metaanalysis of the data from the literature.…”

Haplotype-based association of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system genes polymorphisms with essential hypertension among Han Chinese: the Fangshan study

“…They are of Han Chinese descent (Pekingese within three generations) with a rurally dominated lifestyle, and are currently residing in Fangshan district in the southwest of Beijing. The characteristics of this population have been described elsewhere [16,17]. In details, a total of 3045 participants were preliminarily recruited; thereof, we enrolled 1089 unrelated hypertensive patients and 926 normotensive controls with complete genetic, laboratory and clinical information.…”

Étude de l’enzyme de conversion de l’angiotensine I et de l’hyperhomocystéinémie chez les coronariens tunisiens

“…Notre étude a montré que l'activité de l'ECAI est indé-pendante du sexe contrairement à l'enzyme de conversion de l'angiotensine II (ECAII), découverte récemment et qui est exprimée par un gène lié au chromosome X et qui présente une homologie structurelle et fonctionnelle avec l'ECAI [16].…”
