Association of angiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphism and affective disorders in Turkish patients

Early identification: Language skills and social functioning in deaf and hard of hearing preschool children

“…For example, DHH children experience a lower quality of life and more mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems than their peers without hearing loss [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. However, these studies were conducted before the introduction of early identification services.…”

The Renin Angiotensin System and Bipolar Disorder: A Systematic Review

“…All studies about genetic polymorphisms of RAS molecules evaluated ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism (rs4646994). In five studies, the frequency of DD genotype and D allele did not differ between patients with BD and controls [30][31][32][33][34][35]. In two studies, the frequency of DD genotype and D allele were significantly higher in patients with BD when compared with healthy controls [29,36].…”

“…The all selected studies comprised case-control studies. Eight studies evaluated genetic components of the RAS in patients with BD [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] and three studies evaluated circulating concentrations of RAS molecules [37][38][39]. In seven studies, the authors described the criteria for the diagnosis of BD [29,30,[32][33][34][35]39].…”
