Excerpt

Several studies of critically ill patients have suggested an association of the D/D genotype of the insertion/deletion (I/D) angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) polymorphism with poor outcome probably by enhancing the inflammatory response and leading to a procoagulant state. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of both the ACE I/D polymorphism and its gene product, on the clinical outcome of critically ill septic patients. …
