Why the study?
Is the ACE gene polymorphism associated with high blood pressure in a large Australian family and unrelated individuals?

The ACE gene polymorphism involving a 287 bp segment is unlikely to be a major risk factor for hypertension in this Australian population.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ACE polymorphism should not inform hypertension risk assessment; leaves open its influence on plasma ACE activity across populations.
Summers et al. (1993) studied this question.
