The relationship between ACE/AGT gene polymorphisms and the risk of diabetic retinopathy in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes

Abstract: Aims:This study aims to investigate the association between renin-angiotensin system gene polymorphism and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:We consecutively included 1491 patients for the assessment of ACE I/D and AGT M/T gene polymorphisms in 345 DR cases and 1146 patients without retinopathy (DNR). Albuminuria was defined by urine albumin creatinine ratio and albumin excretion rate.Results:Compared with the NDR patients, the DR cases displayed a higher proportion of … Show more

“…There have been only two studies on this locus in Asians, so further research is needed to verify our results. 20 Sensitivity analysis further validated that the AGT T174M polymorphism is significantly correlated with DN risk. There is no evidence of possible publication bias in the present meta-analysis.…”

“…A number of important research papers have extensively searched the link of ACE I/D and AGT M235T with several diseases, mainly hypertension 22,10 and diabetes, [23][24][25] often with highly inconsistent findings throughout various ethnic populations worldwide; associations with overweight and obesity, an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, have also been reported. 9,26,27 In this context, ACE I/D and AGT M235T polymorphisms association studies in the Tunisian population are very limited, with reports linking them to obesity.…”

“…Fulya YUKCU et al The effects of angiotensinogen M235T/T174M and angiotensin type 1 receptor a1166c gene polymorphisms… xx ACE2, AT1R, and AT2R are the components of RAS (7). Single nucleotide polymorphisms of DN associated genes have been found to have a major impact on the outcome of the disease, but no gene has been identifi ed to be conclusively indicating the presence of DN (20).…”

“…It is known that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) plays an important role in renal hemodynamic alterations in DN and that genes involved in the RAS predispose to the development of DN (5,6). Renin, angiotensinogen (AGT), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), ACE2, angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R), and angiotensin II type 2 receptor (AT2R) are the components of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) (7). The AT1R, a G-proteincoupled receptor, mediates the impact of angiotensin II on vasoconstriction and cell transport of molecules (8).…”
