“…te. As a result these studies have showed that frequency of genotypes can be different according to the population (4,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24) (8). Although the frequency of the D allele was higher in control subjects and sarcoidosis patients, the difference was not statistically significant.…”

“…2 The results of individual and summary OR estimates with 95% CI, fixed-effect model: (a) ID/ACE polymorphism-dominant genetic model; (b) ID/ACE polymorphism-recessive genetic model. The size of the square is proportional to the percent weight of each study; horizontal lines represent the 95% CI higher production of sACE in both the general population and sarcoidosis patients (Rigat et al 1990;Tiret et al 1992;Arbustini et al 1996;Furuya et al 1996;Sharma et al 1997;Tomita et al 1997;Csaszar et al 1997). All these findings have contributed to the idea of the ID/ACE polymorphism's involvement in sarcoidosis etiology and/or pathogenesis, but neither the individual studies (except for African Americans) nor our meta-analysis confirmed this idea.…”

“…The remaining five studies not included were family-based studies, studies evaluating serum ACE levels or studies evaluating sarcoidosis symptoms (Csaszar et al 1997;Niimi et al1998;Kawakami et al 1998;Schurmann et al 2001;Rybicki et al 2004).…”

“…Of the remaining 25 full-text articles (Arbustini et al, 1996;Furuya et al, 1996;Császár et al, 1997;Sharma et al, 1997;Tomita et al, 1997;Xu et al, 1997;Garrib et al, 1998;Maliarik et al, 1998;Niimi et al, 1998;Takemoto et al, 1998;Pietinalho et al, 1999;Stokes et al, 1999;Papadopoulos et al, 2000;McGrath et al, 2001;Ruprecht et al, 2001;Schürmann et al, 2001;Planck et al, 2002;Alía et al, 2005;Biller et al, 2006;Kruit et al, 2007;Salobir et al, 2007;Tahir et al, 2007;Biller et al, 2009;Kruit et al, 2010;Yilmaz et al, 2012), 2 lacked controls (Stokes et al, 1999;Schürmann et al, 2001), and 2 did not examine patients with sarcoidosis (Ruprecht et al, 2001;Biller et al, 2006); these 4 articles were thus excluded. An additional 3 articles (Császár et al, 1997;Niimi et al, 1998;Kruit et al, 2007) were also excluded because of incomplete reporting of data. Therefore, a total of 18 articles (20 case-control studies, including 1882 cases and 3066 controls) were included in the current meta-analysis examining the association between the I/D polymorphism of the ACE gene and susceptibility to sarcoidosis (Arbustini et al, 1996;Furuya et al, 1996;Sharma et al, 1997;Tomita et al, 1997;…”
