Statins remain the most commonly used drugs to treat or prevent atherosclerosis by lowering cholesterol levels in the circulation (Endo et al., 1976; Goldstein and Brown, 2015); although, anti-hypertensive drugs, such as anti-platelet medications, beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, and calcium channel blockers are also used to reduce the symptoms of this disease. The gene discussed is ACE; the disease is atherosclerosis.
