[I/D relationship between polymorphism of ACE gene and progression of chronic glomerulonephritis].

Aim: To study prevalence of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism and its correlation with ACE level in Kyrgyz population suffering from chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN); to ascertain CGN progression and survival with reference to the genotype of ACE gene.

Material And Methods: The above parameters were investigated in 76 CGN patients (mean age 34.1 +/- 1.
