The gene encoding angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is a promising candidate for lung cancer. We aimed to assess three well-characterized polymorphisms of the ACE gene (A-240T, I/D, A2350G) and lung cancer in Chinese people, and complete a meta-analysis of the association of I/D polymorphism with lung cancer.
