POLYMORPHISM OF THE ACE GENE AND THE α-ACTININ-3 GENE IN ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS

by Departmentof Orthopedics, Federal São, São Paulo
"... Objective: The I/D polymorphism of angiotensin-converting en-zyme (ACE) and R577X of the α-actinin-3 (ACTN3) is related to changes in skeletal muscle function. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of these polymorphisms in a family with multiple members with adolescent idiopathic s ..."

sco-liosis (AIS). Methods: Evaluated 25 subjects from a family with multiple members with AIS, by collecting 10mL of blood for DNA isolation. The genotyping of the I/D polymorphism of the ACE gene and the R577X of the ACTN3 gene was performed using two specific primers to classify individuals

DNA Methylation Analysis of the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Gene in Major Depression

by Peter Zill, Thomas C. Baghai, Christoph Born, Wolfgang Eisenmenger, Gabriella Varallo-bedarida, Brigitta Bondy
"... Background: The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) has been repeatedly discussed as susceptibility factor for major depression (MD) and the bi-directional relation between MD and cardiovascular disorders (CVD). In this context, functional polymorphisms of the ACE gene have been linked to depression ..."

Association of Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Gene Polymorphism and Diabetic Nephropathy

by T Golmohamadi, A Nikzamir, M Nakhjavani, M Zahrai, A Amirzargar, R Saffari , 2006
"... Angiotensin I-converting Enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism; genotype DD or D allele may be involved with an increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy (DN). We examined the frequency of ACE gene polymorphism in 170 patients (85 type 2 diabetes with nephropathy and 85 without i ..."
