Objective  To evaluate the relationship between angiotension-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism and susceptibility to cerebral hemorrhage among the Han Chinese population.
Methods  We electronically searched CNKI, CBM, VIP, and Wanfang technological periodical full-text databases from January, 1998 to January, 2009. We identified case-control studies of ACE gene polymorphism and cerebral hemorrhage among the Han Chinese population, and assessed the quality of included studies. The data were quantitatively analyzed by RevMan 4.3 software.
Results  Meta-analysis results showed that the pooled OR value of cerebral hemorrhage subjects among the Han Chinese population with at least one D allele was 1.42 (95%CI1.13 to1.78). The pooled OR values of cerebral hemorrhage with DD and II genotype were 1.9 (95%CI1.32 to 2.74) and 0.80 (95%CI0.63 to 1.01) respectively.
Conclusion  ACE gene polymorphism is significantly associated with susceptibility to cerebral hemorrhage in the Han Chinese `population.
