Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D polymorphism has been reported to be associated with lung cancer, but the results of previous studies are conflicting. The present study was designed to investigate the association between this polymorphism and the risk of lung cancer using a meta-analysis of the published studies.
