description Aim. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and MCNS susceptibility. Method. A predefined literature search and selection of eligible relevant studies were performed to collect the data from electronic databases. Results. Six articles were identified for the analysis of association between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and MCNS risk, including 4 for Asians, one in Caucasian population and one for Africans. There was a markedly positive association between D allele or DD genotype and MCNS susceptibility in Asians (D: 𝑃=.01, DD: 𝑃=.02), but not for Caucasians and Africans (Caucasians: D: 𝑃=.16, DD: 𝑃=.98; Africans: D: 𝑃=.81, DD: 𝑃=.49). Furthermore, the II genotype seemed not to play a protective role against MCNS risk for Asians, Caucasians and Africans (𝑃=.12, 𝑃=.09, 𝑃=.76, resp.). Interestingly, there was also significant association between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and MCNS susceptibility in overall populations (D: 𝑃=.007, DD: 𝑃=.04, II: 𝑃=.03). Conclusion. D allele or DD genotype might be a significant genetic molecular marker for MCNS susceptibility in Asians and overall populations, but not for Caucasians and Africans. More larger and rigorous genetic epidemiological investigations are required to further explore this association.
