Associations between clinical characteristics and angiotensin-converting enzyme gene insertion/deletion polymorphism in Moroccan population with Type-2 diabetic nephropathy

Abstract: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the severe complications of Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and a major cause of end-stage renal disease in these patients. Results from published studies on the relationship between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/ deletion (I/D) gene polymorphism and patients with DN are still conflicting. We compared the clinical characteristics and the genotype frequencies of ACE polymorphism in 130 T2DM Moroccan patients with DN and 85 T2DM Moroccan patients without DN (co… Show more

“…Recent data indicate that morbidity and mortality among diabetic patients are increased [ 14 ]. One severe complication of T2DM is type 2 diabetic nephropathy (T2DN), which is characterized by hypertension, albuminuria, and a progressive decline in glomerular filtration rate, developing into end-stage renal disease [ 17 , 18 ]. There is increasing evidence showing that TGF-β1 takes part in the pathogenesis of T2DN [ 19 21 ].…”

“…Additionally, it was shown in the investigations by Mansouri et al [27] and Wyawahare et al [10] that there was no appreciable difference in the homozygous (DD) genotype between diabetic individuals with and without nephropathy.…”

“…Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the major microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus. 1 , 2 It is a multifactorial and polygenic disorder that occurs in a quarter to a third of all patients with prolonged diabetes mellitus and has been widely implicated as the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). 3 Typically, the disease is diagnosed after significant damage has occurred to the kidney tissue.…”
