The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) ID genotype may increase the risk of peripheral vascular disease in Turkish patients. ACE activity was higher in patients, and ACE genotype frequencies differed between patients and controls.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Science
  • Genetics
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is a manifestation of atherosclerosis.
  • The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism has been linked to atherosclerosis.
  • Understanding genetic predispositions like ACE polymorphism is crucial for PVD research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between ACE I/D polymorphism and PVD in a Turkish population.
  • To examine the relationship between serum ACE activity and ACE genotypes in PVD patients and healthy controls.
  • To identify potential genetic risk factors for PVD in Western Turkey.

Main Methods:

  • Genotyping for ACE I/D polymorphism in 78 PVD patients and 73 healthy controls.

  • Measurement of serum ACE activity in all participants.
  • Statistical analysis to compare genotype frequencies and ACE activity between groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Serum ACE activity was significantly higher in PVD patients compared to controls (p<0.05).
    • ACE genotype frequencies differed between patients (DD: 28.2%, II: 18%, ID: 53.8%) and controls (DD: 42.5%, II: 20.5%, ID: 37%).
    • Individuals with the II genotype had significantly lower serum ACE activity than those with ID and DD genotypes (p<0.05).

    Conclusions:

    • The ACE ID genotype may represent a risk factor for peripheral vascular disease.
    • Serum ACE activity is elevated in Turkish PVD patients.
    • Further research is warranted to clarify the role of ACE polymorphism in PVD pathogenesis.
