Polymerase chain reaction amplification was performed on genomic DNA isolated from blood leucocytes. Results were correlated to clinical course and renal morphology.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2003<\/jats:bold> The ACE genotype was I\/I, I\/D and D\/D in two, 12 and eight patients, respectively, with steroid\u2010sensitive INS, and in one, eight and one patient, respectively, with steroid resistance. Renal morphology, available in 25 patients showed minimal change glomerulopathy in 17 patients (14 steroid\u2010sensitive; three steroid\u2010resistant) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in eight (one steroid\u2010sensitive; seven steroid\u2010resistant). There was no significant correlation between ACE genotype and steroid responsiveness, histology or outcome. ACE genotype was I\/I, I\/D and D\/D in none, 12 and five patients, respectively, with minimal change glomerulopathy, and in one, five and two patients, respectively, with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. Six patients with steroid\u2010resistant nephrotic syndrome went into end stage renal disease; ACE genotype was I\/I in one and I\/D in five, but none were D\/D.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:\u2003<\/jats:bold> In contrast to previous reports, ACE gene polymorphism is irrelevant for clinical outcome, steroid responsiveness or morphology in Swiss children with INS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1797.2006.00669.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,6]],"date-time":"2006-09-06T13:11:39Z","timestamp":1157548299000},"page":"538-541","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Angiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphisms do not predict the course of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome in Swiss children"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"BERND","family":"SASSE","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SEIFE","family":"HAILEMARIAM","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"RUDOLF P","family":"W\u00dcTHRICH","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"MARKUS J","family":"KEMPER","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"THOMAS J","family":"NEUHAUS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,9,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(03)14184-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0272-6386(99)70388-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004670100024"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01453661"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004670050542"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ki.1990.175"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","first-page":"51","article-title":"N\u2010acetyl\u2010beta\u2010D\u2010glucosaminidase and beta2\u2010microglobulin: Prognostic markers in idiopathic nephrotic syndrome","volume":"12","author":"Fede C","year":"1999","journal-title":"J.
