Abstract

Insertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene was analyzed in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and in the control group consisting of healthy subjects. The insertion allele (I) and genotype II were found to be associated with NIDDM. The frequencies of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy in NIDDM patients were not associated with this polymorphism. However, an association was found between the DD genotype of the ACE gene and diabetic angiopathy in lower extremities.
