The angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene in humans has an insertion-deletion (I/D) polymorphic state in intron 16 on chromosome 17q23. This polymorphism has been widely investigated in different diseases. In this study we aimed to investigate the ACE I/D genotype frequency in hypertensive cases in Kashmiri population.
We designed a case control study, where 52 hypertensive cases were studied for ACE I/D polymorphism against 150 age/sex matched controls taken from general population. The polymorphisms of ACE gene were investigated using polymerase chain reaction for detection of ACE I/D genotype. Fisher's Chi square test was used for calculation of P value and OR.
We found the frequency of ACE DD genotype to be 46.15% (24/52), II 23.07% (12/52) and DI 30.77% (16/52) in 52 hypertensive cases.
The ACE I/D genotype is positively associated with hypertension in our population.
人类血管紧张素转换酶（ACE）基因在17号染色体q23区域的第16内含子存在插入/缺失（I/D）多态性状态。这种多态性已在不同疾病中得到广泛研究。在本研究中，我们旨在调查克什米尔人群高血压患者中ACE I/D基因型频率。
我们设计了一项病例对照研究，对52例高血压患者进行ACE I/D多态性研究，并与从普通人群中选取的150名年龄/性别匹配的对照进行比较。采用聚合酶链反应检测ACE基因多态性以确定ACE I/D基因型。使用Fisher卡方检验计算P值和比值比（OR）。
我们发现52例高血压患者中ACE DD基因型频率为46.15%（24/52），II为23.07%（12/52），DI为30.77%（16/52）。
在我们的人群中，ACE I/D基因型与高血压呈正相关。
