ACE I/D
- Useful for:
The ACE I/D polymorphism is a widely studied genetic variation in the ACE gene (which encodes the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) characterized by the presence (Insertion, I) or absence (Deletion, D) of a 287-base-pair DNA fragment. This genetic variant directly modulates the amount of ACE protein circulating in your body and plays a critical role in cardiovascular health, physical performance, and fluid balance.
