title: [The role of angiotensin-converting enzyme and apolipoprotein E in the development of intracranial aneurysms.].
abstract: The distribution of allele and genotype frequencies of the Alu-insertion polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene and missence mutations leading to the substitution of arginine to cysteine in positions 112 and 158 of apolipoprotein E (APOE) has been studied in 166 patients with brain intracranial aneurysms and in 192 controls of Russian origin from Ural region. Brain vascular aneurysms with hypertension were associated with the D*D* ACE genotype in men and with the e2 allele and the e2/e3 APOE genotype in women. The association was also observed between the e2 allele and the e2/e3 APOE genotype and family history of stroke, hemorrhages and aneurysms in patients. Men with the I*D* ACE genotype and the e4 APOE allele were at lower risk.
