Popis: We examined the insertion/deletion polymorphism in the angiotensin-converting enzyme gene and identified polymorphisms in the heart chymase gene to test the hypothesis that these angiotensin II-producing enzymes are associated with a monogenic cardiac disease (50 patients and 50 control subjects) as a model of cardiac hypertrophy. We found that the angiotensin-converting enzyme DD genotype was present more often in patients than in control subjects and identified a possible interaction with 1 of the chymase polymorphisms.
