The role of the common angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion\/deletion (I\/D) variant in the disease and its subtypes remains uncertain. The acute-phase reactants (APRs) C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) form part of the Jones criteria for diagnosing RHD, and genetic factors are known to influence baseline CRP and ESR levels. Therefore, here, we investigated the relationship between the ACE I\/D polymorphism and APR levels in RHD. A total of 268 individuals were recruited, including 123 RHD patients and 198 healthy controls. There was a trend toward a higher D allele frequency in RHD patients. The ACE I\/D polymorphism genotype frequency and DD+ID allelic carriage were significantly associated with a high APR level (p = 0.04 and p = 0.02, respectively). These results highlight the importance of ACE I\/D polymorphisms in RHD for disease stratification, but not for disease predisposition. Further studies in larger cohorts and different populations are now required to confirm this association and to explore the mechanism of this effect.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics13101672","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,10]],"date-time":"2023-05-10T01:40:02Z","timestamp":1683682802000},"page":"1672","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Impact of ACE Gene Variants on Acute-Phase Reactants in Children with Rheumatic Heart Disease"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Abdulhadi H.","family":"Almazroea","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatrics Department, College of Medicine, Taibah University, Al-Madinah 30001, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sondos","family":"Yousef","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Sciences, College of Health Sciences, QU Health, Qatar University, Doha 2713, Qatar"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Salma M.
