Exploring ACE Gene Polymorphism in Chronic Heart Failure: A Study from Uzbekistan

Chronic heart failure (CHF) remains one of the most significant global health challenges, and understanding its genetic contributors is essential for better diagnosis and prevention. At the International Conference on Cardiology and Cardiovascular Science (March 26–28, 2026 | Singapore & Online), Dilnoza Tagaeva from Uzbekistan presents insightful findings on the ACE gene I/D polymorphism and its potential association with CHF in the Uzbek population.

Title: To evaluate the role of I/D polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene in patients

🔬 Study Aim

The research evaluates whether the I/D polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene contributes to the development of chronic heart failure among Uzbek individuals.


📊 Key Research Highlights

1️ Elevated D Allele Frequency in CHF Patients

·         D allele frequency: 51.4% in CHF patients

·         Control group: 40.25%

·         I allele was lower in CHF (48.6%) compared to controls (59.8%)

·         Despite the differences, results were not statistically significant (p = 0.4)

2️ Reduced Frequency of I/I Genotype in CHF Group

·         I/I genotype: 31% in CHF patients

·         Control group: 47.1%

·         Odds ratio suggests no major increased risk of CHF for carriers of I/I

3️ I/D Genotype Shows Protective Tendencies

·         I/D genotype: 35.2% (patients) vs 25.5% (controls)

·         Indicates a potential protective effect, though close to significance

·         (OR = 1.6; p = 0.6)

4️ D/D Genotype May Signal Higher CHF Risk

·         D/D genotype frequency: 33.8% in CHF patients

·         This unfavorable genotype is increasingly recognized as a possible risk marker

·         Supports its role in CHF susceptibility

5️ Overall Conclusion

The findings highlight the D/D genotype of the ACE gene as a potential independent marker for chronic heart failure, offering insights into genetic predisposition within the Uzbek population.
