--- Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) plays an essential role in regulating blood pressure in two physiological systems: renin-angiotensin and kinin-kallikrein. The ACE gene is located on the long arm of the chromosome 17 (17q23), consisting of 26 exons and 25 introns. An insertion/deletion polymorphism located in intron 16, which corresponds to an Alu repetitive sequence of ~ 287 bp, gives rise to three genotypes: Insertion (II), insertion / deletion (I/D) and deletion (DD). There are studies that link the D allele with increased ACE expression, and consequently there might be a genetic predisposition to disease; however, these studies have also revealed that the determination of polymorphism I/D depends on the population sampled, either by ethnicity or the geographical location of this population. The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of the polymorphism I/D of ACE gene in Peruvian population samples. A DNA fragment belonging to intron 16 of this gene was amplified by the technique of polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We worked with populations of Monsefú, Moche, Huacho and Lima, being the predominant genotype for the first three populations is homozygous II (84.2%, 66.7% and 56.8% respectively), while for the population of Lima the predominant genotype is the heterozygous I/D (42.9%). The I allele is the most common in the 4 populations: Monsefú (92.1%), Moche (80.3%), Huacho (73.0%) and Lima (62.5%). The 4 populations are in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The values of gene and genotype frequencies obtained are very similar to those reported in Latin American populations, where the prevalence of DD genotype is very low and I allele frequency is high. Keywords: blood pressure, physiological system, polymorphism (genetic), Alu insertion, genotype, genetic predisposition.
