Angiotensin-I converting enzyme gene polymorphism in Turkish type 2 diabetic patients

Abstract: A bstractN on-insulin dependent diabetes m ellitus is often associated w ith so m e co m plication s such as nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy. G enes of the renin angio tensin system are po tential can didate genes for diabetic com plicatio ns. W e investigated th e relation sh ip betw een angioten sin convertin g enzym e (A C E ) gene po lym o rphism in type 2 diabetic patients w ith and w ithou t diabetic nephro path y. S eventy five patients (25 type 2 diabetic patients w ith nephropathy, 50 typ e 2 … Show more

“…The II (Insertion-Insertion) genotype is reported to be protective against development and progression of diabetic and non-diabetic nephropathy to chronic kidney disease [48]. Clinically, serum ACE level is useful for the evaluation of disease activity and follow-up in T2DM [31,49-52]. All previous studies in non-diabetic and diabetic nephropathies have demonstrated that the deletion polymorphism of ACE gene, particularly the homozygote DD, is a risk factor for an accelerated loss of kidney function [53].…”

“…2 The significance of genetic factors in the predisposition to this microvascular complication (retinopathy, neuropathy, etc.) can be realized from the fact that various genes have been implicated in susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy, 3,4 including the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). ACE is a dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase that removes the C-terminal dipeptide from angiotensin I to produce the potent vasoconstrictor and growth-promoting substance angiotensin I/I.…”

“…Moreover, levels of total proteins (p = 0.03) in G3-CD, creatinine (p < 0.001) in G1-H and HDL-C (p = 0.03) in G2-CN were significantly different between ACE I/D genotypes (▶table 3). [11,14,15,[21][22][23]. However, one meta-analysis on Chinese population could not find any association between ACE I/D polymorphism and diabetes [24].…”

“…Several studies have reported the association of ACE I/D polymorphism with diabetes mellitus, hypertension and CVDs [11,14,15]. However, this association is variable when diabetes co-occurs with CVDs.…”
