Journal ArticleDOI
An insertion/deletion polymorphism in the angiotensin I-converting enzyme gene accounting for half the variance of serum enzyme levels.
TL;DR: The insertion/deletion polymorphism accounted for 47% of the total phenotypic variance of serum ACE, showing that the ACE gene locus is the major locus that determines serum ACE concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular basis of human hypertension: Role of angiotensinogen

TL;DR: Evidence of genetic linkage between the angiotensinogen gene (AGT) and hypertension is obtained, association of AGT molecular variants with the disease is demonstrated, and significant differences in plasma concentrations of angiotENSinogen among hypertensive subjects with different AGT genotypes are found.
Journal Article
Evidence, from combined segregation and linkage analysis, that a variant of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene controls plasma ACE levels.

TL;DR: A combined segregation and linkage analysis provided evidence that the major-gene effect was due to a variant of the ACE gene, in strong linkage disequilibrium with the I/D polymorphism.
