Is d allele of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme a major risk factor for restenosis after coronary stenting?
The ACE I/D polymorphism influences the level of late luminal loss after coronary stent implantation. These results suggest that the renin-angiotensin system may be implicated in the pathogenesis of restenosis after coronary stenting.
This is a rare case of NEC-specific genetic abnormalities in a kidney-derived tumor, and is the first report to identify kidney-derived NEC that metastasized to the bladder via the urinary tract.
