Distinct ACE haplotypes in Tunisians limit European data generalizability; leaves open ancestry-specific pharmacogenomic validation.
Cross-Sectional (n=100)
p-value: p=<10^-5
The Tunisian population has a distinct ACE gene haplotype structure compared to Europeans, with three key SNPs identified for future pharmacogenomic and association studies.
Rebaï et al. (2006) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=100). Five SNPs within the ACE gene vs. European population was evaluated on Linkage disequilibrium between all pairs of loci (p=<10^-5). In the Tunisian population, five SNPs within the ACE gene showed highly significant linkage disequilibrium (p<10^-5) and a different haplotype structure compared to European populations.
