Insertion/deletion polymorphism of angiotensin-converting enzyme and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A case-control study on north Indian population

This research aimed to explore the ACE (insertion/deletion) gene association as key factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development in north Indian population. A total of 200 clinically diagnosed patients with COPD were selected against 200 healthy individuals. Genetic variations...

Sumario:This research aimed to explore the ACE (insertion/deletion) gene association as key factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development in north Indian population. A total of 200 clinically diagnosed patients with COPD were selected against 200 healthy individuals. Genetic variations of ACE (insertion/deletion) were evaluated by using polymerase chain reaction techniques. Smoker showed higher risk of COPD (OR=1.67, 95% CI=1.12-2.48, P=0.012). Present results revealed the positive association between the DD genotype and the risk of COPD (OR= 2.14, 95% CI=1.22-3.78, P=0.006). Among smokers, DD genotype showed statistically significant association with increased risk of COPD (OR=3.10, 95% CI= 1.50-6.47, P=0.001).
