Fetal But Not Maternal Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE)-2 Gene Rs2074192 Polymorphism is Associated with Increased Risk of Being a Small For Gestational Age (SGA) Newborn

Background/Aims: The maternal and fetal Renin-Angiotensin-System is involved in the control of pregnancy outcomes such as blood pressure control and gestational age. However, very little is known about the impact of the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) on pregnancy outcome. We thus performed a...
