Figure 1.

Electrophoresis of ACE2 G8709A (rs2285666) gene polymorphism by enzyme digestion product sizes were 466 bp for GG genotype, 185 bp–281 bp–466 bp for GA genotype, and 185 bp–281 bp for AA genotype. Lanes 1 and 2 are the GG genotype; lanes 3 and 4 are the GA genotype; lanes 5 and 6 are the AA genotype; lanes 7 and 8 are the PCR products (466 bp). ACE2, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; M, DNA molecular weight marker.
