In the past year there has been a profusion of reports identifying a possible association between the insertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin converting enzyme and renal diseases. Rather than clarifying the situation, it has become more difficult to interpret its significance owing to small sample sizes and concerns over methodology; hence, studies are frequently contradictory. Despite these concerns there is evidence for a role of this polymorphism in progressive renal disease. This review summarizes the major studies in this field and suggests future strategies that might be employed to identify useful genetic markers in nephrology, for which the angiotensin converting enzyme polymorphism has acted as an important paradigm.

D007674 Kidney Diseases Pathological processes of the KIDNEY or its component tissues. Disease, Kidney,Diseases, Kidney,Kidney Disease
D007703 Peptidyl-Dipeptidase A A peptidyl-dipeptidase that catalyzes the release of a C-terminal dipeptide, oligopeptide-|-Xaa-Yaa, when Xaa is not Pro, and Yaa is neither Asp nor Glu. Thus, conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, with increase in vasoconstrictor activity, but no action on angiotensin II. It is also able to inactivate BRADYKININ, a potent vasodilator; and has a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety.

D003928 Diabetic Nephropathies KIDNEY injuries associated with diabetes mellitus and affecting KIDNEY GLOMERULUS; ARTERIOLES; KIDNEY TUBULES; and the interstitium. Clinical signs include persistent PROTEINURIA, from microalbuminuria progressing to ALBUMINURIA of greater than 300 mg/24 h, leading to reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE and END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE.
