ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and the polymorphisms of N5, N10-methylenetetrahydrofolic acid reductase (MTHFR) gene in patients with ischemic stroke (IS).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Totally 454 patients with IS (IS group) and 334 controls (control group) were recruited in our study. Their I/D polymorphisms of ACE gene and C677T polymorphisms of MTHFR gene were detected by PCR and denaturing high performance liquid chromatography.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The frequencies of DD, ID, II and CC, CT, TT genotype in IS group were 22.5%, 43.4%, 34.1%, and 51.8%, 40.5%, 7.7%, respectively, and were 17.4%, 45.5%, 37.1% and 56.9%, 38.3%, 4.8% in the control group, respectively. DD genotype was associated with large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA), and TT genotype and T allele were associated with LAA and cardioembolism. Synergistic effects were found between TT and DD/ID DD genotypes in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>DD, TT genotype and T allele are risk factors of IS, and ACE gene and MTHFR gene have synergistic effects in the pathogenesis of IS.</p>
