Ethnic differences in the association between angiotensin-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphism and peripheral vascular disease: A meta-analysis

Background: Several studies have investigated the association of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism with peripheral vascular disease (PVD); however, the results remain controversial. Therefore, we conducted the current meta-analysis to evaluate this relati...

Therefore, we conducted the current meta-analysis to evaluate this relationship in the general population of different ethnicities.

Random-effect models were applied to estimate the pooled odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI), regardless of between-study heterogeneity. Results: A total of 13 studies with 1966 cases and 6129 controls were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled ORs for the association between ACE I/D polymorphism and PVD risk were not statistically significant in the overall population under all genetic models. In further ethnicity-stratified analyses, we found a statistically significant association of ACE I/D polymorphism with PVD susceptibility in Asians under most models. However, the association among Caucasians did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion: ACE I/D polymorphism might be associated with susceptibility to PVD in the Asian population, but there was no clear evidence indicating a similar significant relationship among Caucasians.Chao HanXi-Kun HanFang-Chao LiuJian-Feng HuangKeAi Communications Co., Ltd.articlePeripheral vascular diseaseAngiotensin-converting enzymeInsertion/deletion polymorphismMeta-analysisMedicine (General)R5-920ENChronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, Vol 3, Iss 4, Pp 230-241 (2017)
