Association of the KLK1 rs5516 G allele and the ACE D allele with aortic aneurysm and atherosclerotic stenosis.

ABSTRACT: Atherosclerosis underlies aortic aneurysm (AA) and atherosclerotic stenosis (AS). Kallikrein-1 (KLK1) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) are 2 key molecules in kallikrein-kinin systems and renin-angiotensin systems, respectively, which are responsible for maintaining vascular balance and stability, playing important roles in atherosclerosis. We aimed to assess the involvement of single nucleotide polymorphism rs5516 in KLK1 as well as the insertion/deletion rs4646994 polymorphism in ACE in the development of AA and AS.We enrolled Chinese Han patients with AA (N?=?408) and AS (N?=?432), as well as healthy controls (N?=?408). Clinical and demographic characteristics were assessed. Genotypes were analyzed with recessive and dominant models.The rs5516 G allele of KLK1 was significantly associated with AA (P?
