Polymorphisms of ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) and angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT₁R) 1166A-C have been associated with many diseases, and distributions of their genotypes vary in different races and populations. The aim of this study was to investigate distributions of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and AT₁R genotypes in Han and She populations in ZheJiang province. We determined ACE and AT₁R genotypes in 189 Han and 163 She individuals. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples. Analyses of ACE and AT ₁R genotypes were performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The frequencies of ACE genotypes and alleles among the Han sample (41.3%II, 41.3%ID, 17.5%DD; 61.9%I allele, 38.1%D allele) were similar to those among She individuals (39.9%II, 39.3%ID, 20.9%DD; 59.5%I allele, 40.5%D allele), with p=0.660; p=0.421. However, significant differences in the distributions of ACE polymorphism between men and women among She population were observed, with p=0.042, p=0.014. AT₁R genotype and allele frequencies in the Han population were (88.4%AA, 11.1%AC, 0.5%CC) and (93.9%A allele, 6.1%C) allele respectively. In the She population they were (78.0%AA, 21.3%AC, 0.6%CC) and (89.0%A allele, 11.0%C allele). The significant differences were found between Han and She populations with p=0.031, p=0.018, and within subgroups of women, with p=0.010, p=0.021. There were no significant differences within subgroups of men (p=0.476, p=0.261). The genotype distributions or allele frequencies of ACE and AT₁R were significantly different between the samples of the She and Han populations.
