The relationship between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and psoriasis has previously been studied mainly in Caucasians and only once in Asians. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between the ACE I/D polymorphism and the risk of psoriasis in a Chinese population.
