ABSTRACT
The association of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism with hypertension has not been confirmed. Inconsistencies may be due to the differences of background population characteristics. Till date, there has been no report in Bangladeshi population. This study was to examine the association of ACE (I/D) polymorphism with hypertension. Fifty-one primary hypertensives and fifty-two normotensives were recruited from a hospital in Dhaka city. Height, weight and blood pressure were measured. ACE (I/D) genotypes was established using polymerase chain reaction protocol. The genotype and allele frequencies did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) between the groups. In logistic regression analysis, adjusted for age, sex and body mass index, the genotypes were not associated with hypertension (DD vs II Adds ratio = 2.6, P = 0.34; ID vs II 0.4, 0.23; ID + DD vs II 0.8, 0.69). In this hospital-based sample of Bangladeshi people, significant association of ACE I/D genotype with hypertension was not observed.
