The Association Between ACE2 Gene Polymorphism and the Stroke Recurrence in Chinese Population

The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is closely associated with cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease. Most studies on ACE2 gene polymorphism focused on its relations with cardiovascular disease, but there was a lack of research on its relations with stroke. Our study aimed to explore the association between 4 single-nucleotidepolymorphisms (SNPs) of ACE2 gene polymorphism and stroke recurrence.
