Angiotensin converting enzyme polymorphism and ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess the polymorphism of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in ischemic stroke in an Egyptian sample.

Methods

One hundred subjects (70 ischemic stroke patients, and 30 healthy controls) were included in case control cross sectional study during the period from January 2017 to January 2018, at Neurology Department, Menufia University Hospital, Shibin EL-Kom, Egypt. Patients underwent complete neurological assessment, national institute health stroke scale (NIHSS), and Toast classification. All subjects underwent genotyping of ACE gene polymorphism.

Results

There are 42.9% from the patients versus 33.3% from controls showed geno typing of Insertion/Deletion (I/D) and Allele D is more frequent regarding I allele in ischemic stroke patients but this differ
