lgtaylor100 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 My doctor ran a genetic test and the results were ACE D/D homozygous for deletion mutation. The interpretation in the test results state that ACE is am important regulator of of the rennin-angiostatin-aldosterone system and as such plays an important role in blood pressure regulation and electrolyte imbalance. It goes on to state that the D/D genotype has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.I am uncertain as to what this means concerning dysautonomia. I have had a positive TTT for POTS. I have seen many posts about rennin, angiostatin, and aldosterone but am not sure what this all means.Help anyone?Thanks.Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue1234 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I don't understand the genetic test, but you can do a search in this forum for "renin" and come up with a long thread started by Issie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
