Background

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) due to decreasing quality of life. In the present study, it is aimed to evaluate angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) Gene I/D polymorphism in Turkish population.

Materials and methods

Two hundred and thirty-five DPN patients and two hundred and eighty-one controls were enrolled in this study. Genomic DNA was isolated and genotyped using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses for the ACE gene I/D polymorphism.

Results

Baseline characteristics of the DPN patients according to ACE genotypes were similar, except for history of hypertension. The frequency of II genotype was significantly higher in patients with positive history of hypertension than the patients with negative history of hypertension (p = 0.013). DD genotype of I/D polymorphism was found to be a susceptibility factor for DPN in homozygous form (p = 0.032). According to allele frequencies, D allele of I/D polymorphism was found to be a susceptibility factor for DPN (p = 0.031).

Conclusion

ACE gene I/D polymorphism may research in DM patients to determine genetic predisposition for DPN. It can be useful for taking early measures and avoiding DPN in a Turkish population.  相似文献

Background

The results from the published studies on the association between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) gene polymorphism and the treatment response to steroid in Asian children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is still conflicting. This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the relation between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and treatment response to steroid in Asian children and to explore whether ACE D allele or DD genotype could become a predictive marker for steroid responsiveness.

Methodology/Principal Findings

Association studies were identified from the databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and CBM-disc (China Biological Medicine Database) as of September 1, 2010, and eligible investigations were synthesized using meta-analysis method. Five investigations were identified for the analysis of association between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) risk in Asian children and seven studies were included to explore the relationship between ACE I/D gene polymorphism and steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) susceptibility. Five investigations were recruited to explore the difference of ACE I/D gene distribution between SRNS and SSNS. There was no a markedly association between D allele or DD genotype and SRNS susceptibility or SSNS risk, and the gene distribution differences of ACE between SRNS and SSNS were not statistically significant. II genotype might play a positive role against SRNS onset but not for SSNS (OR = 0.51, P = 0.02; OR = 0.95, P = 0.85; respectively), however, the result for the association of II genotype with SRNS risk was not stable.

Conclusions/Significance

Our results indicate that D allele or DD homozygous can''t become a significant genetic molecular marker to predict the treatment response to steroid in Asian children with INS.  相似文献

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) plays an essential role in the renin–angiotensin system. It converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II and inactivates bradykinin and tachykinins. Numerous studies have been published investigating associations of the ACE gene I/D polymorphism with various pathophysiological conditions. We examined the prevalence of the ACE I/D polymorphism in a sample of healthy volunteers from western Turkey, including 1063 healthy Turkish controls. Analysis of the ACE I/D gene polymorphisms by polymerase chain reaction found frequencies of 16.1% for the II genotype, 47.7% for the ID genotype, and 36.2% for the DD genotype. The allele frequency was 39.9% for the I alleles and 60.1% for the D allele. This study demonstrates that the allele and genotype frequency values for the Turkish population are similar to previously published frequencies for Caucasian populations.  相似文献

Intervertebral disk degeneration(IDD) is strongly associated with genetic predisposition and environmental susceptibility. Several studies been conducted to investigate the potential association between IDD and Fok I polymorphism located in the gene encoding the vitamin D receptor(VDR), and inconsistent conclusions had been reached among different ethnic populations. In order to assess the association between the Fok I polymorphism and the risk of IDD, we performed a comprehensive and systematic meta-analysis. Candidate articles were retrieved from Pub Med,EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), and China Biology Medical(CBM) with strict inclusion criteria in January 2015. Among the 54 articles that were retrieved, only eight studies met the inclusion criteria. The pooled data analysis based on allele contrast, homozygote, heterozygote, dominant, and recessive models revealed no significant correlation between the Fok I polymorphism and the risk of IDD. However, when stratified by ethnicity, significant associations were detected for Hispanics based on allele contrast(OR = 1.395, 95% CI = 1.059–1.836,P = 0.018), homozygote(OR = 1.849, 95% CI = 1.001–3.416, P = 0.049), heterozygote(OR = 1.254, 95% CI = 1.049–1.498, P = 0.013), and dominant(OR = 1.742, 95%CI = 1.174–2.583, P = 0.006) models, and for Asians using the dominant model(OR = 1.293,95% CI = 1.025–1.632, P = 0.030), whereas there is no significant association detected for Caucasians. In conclusion, Fok I polymorphism is not generally associated with IDD, but there is increased risk for IDD in Hispanics and Asians carrying Fok I allele T.  相似文献

An insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the gene for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is associated with myocardial infarction and other cardiac pathology. There is evidence for a role of the renin-angiotensin system in cell growth and in the repair of damaged arterial walls, so the ACE gene is postulated to be a candidate gene affecting the important clinical problem of coronary artery disease (CAD). In view of the clinical importance of the ACE as a major marker of cardiovascular diseases, we investigated the I/D polymorphism of the ACE gene in Turkish CAD patients in comparison with control subjects to evaluate a possible association between CAD and the gene encoding ACE. Polymerase chain reaction, restriction fragment length polymorphism, and agarose gel electrophoresis techniques were used to determine the ACE genotype in 58 subjects. The frequencies of ACE D and ACE I allele among the patients with CAD were 62.26% and 37.73 % and in the control subjects were 49.3% and 50.76%, respectively. The greater frequency of deletion allele (D) was in the CAD group than in the control subjects was significant (P < 0.01).  相似文献

We sought to determine the frequency of I/D polymorphism genotypes of angiotensin converting enzyme gene in Turkish patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Genomic DNA obtained from 256 individuals (110 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 146 healthy controls) was used in the study. ACE gene I/D polymorphism genotypes were determined using polymerase chain reaction using I and D allele-specific primers. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups with respect to genotype distribution (p = 0.001). A significant difference was found in frequencies of ACE I/D alleles between patients and controls, with RA patients having a higher representation of D and lower representation of I alleles compared to controls (p < 0.001). As a result of our study, angiotensin converting enzyme gene I/D polymorphism DD genotype could be a genetic marker in rheumatoid arthritis in the Turkish study population.  相似文献

This study explored interactions between dietary fat intake and the tumour necrosis factor-α gene (TNFA) -308 G/A polymorphism on serum lipids in white South African (SA) women. Normal-weight (N = 88) and obese (N = 60) white SA women underwent measurements of body composition, fat distribution, fasting serum lipids, glucose, insulin concentrations and dietary intake. Subjects were genotyped for the functional -308 G/A polymorphism within the TNFA gene. There were no significant differences in the genotype or allele frequencies between groups, and no significant genotype associations were found for body fatness or distribution, or serum lipid concentrations. However, there was a significant interaction effect between dietary saturated fat (SFA) intake (%E) and TNFA -308 genotypes on serum total cholesterol concentrations (P = 0.047). With increasing SFA intake (%E), serum total cholesterol levels decreased for the GG genotype and increased for the GA plus AA genotypes. The TNFA -308 G/A polymorphism appears to modify the relationship between dietary fat intake and serum total cholesterol concentrations in white SA women.  相似文献

This study determined the allelic frequency and genotypic distribution of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) polymorphism and serum ACE activity in Turkish patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). A colorimetric assay measured serum ACE activity in 73 of 97 subjects. Frequencies for II, ID, and DD genotypes were 19.6, 53.6, and 26.8% in the OSAS group and 15, 38, and 47% in the control group, respectively (P = 0.02). The I allele frequency was higher in the OSAS group than in the healthy control group (P = 0.02). Carrying the I allele (II or ID genotypes) increased OSAS risk 2.41 times in the Turkish population. Mean ACE activity was significantly lower in patients with the II genotype than in the DD genotype (P = 0.011), and ACE activity was significantly lower in patients with severe OSAS than in those with mild OSAS (P = 0.006). Our results suggest that II and ID genotypes of the ACE gene increase the risk of developing OSAS in the Turkish population.  相似文献

Genetic factors are important in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion(I)/deletion(D) polymorphism is one of the genetic factor found to be related with CAD. We investigated the association between I/D polymorphism of the ACE gene and the presence of CAD. Three hundred and seven patients (187 males and 120 females, aged between 35-80, mean 54.3 +/-9.8 years) who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography were included in the study. ACE I/D polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction. Of the 307, 176 had CAD. The most frequently observed genotype in all subjects was ID (47.9 %). However, in patients with CAD the frequency of II genotype was lower whereas DD genotype was higher compared to the controls (p < 0.05). The number of D allele carrying subjects were also higher (p < 0.05) in CAD patients. The logistic regression analysis indicated that the ACE D allele is an independent risk factor (odds ratio = 1.48, 95 % CI = 1.01-2.18, p < 0.05). In conclusion, the I/D polymorphism of ACE gene (carrying D allele) is an independent risk factor for CAD in the studied Turkish population.  相似文献

The aim of the study was to explore the association of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene I/D polymorphism and the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene C677T polymorphism with development of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Three groups were recruited during 2007–2011: 232 normal controls, 185 type 2 diabetics without nephropathy, and 407 type 2 diabetics with nephropathy. The ACE I/D and MTHFR C677T polymorphisms were examined using PCR and PCR-RFLP methods. We found no significant association of the ACE I/D polymorphism with diabetic nephropathy in genotype, allele, dominant, and recessive models. We observed a significant association of MTHFR C677T with development of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetics. The MTHFR C677T polymorphism plays a significant role in predisposition of renal insufficiency in diabetic patients.  相似文献

The ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABCB1) gene product, P-glycoprotein plays an important role in the prevention of intracellular accumulation of potentially toxic substances and metabolites in various tissues. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene are claimed to be correlated with changes in the function of P-glycoprotein. There is evidence that fentanyl, may be a substrate for P-glycoprotein. The aim of the study was to assess whether an association exists between ABCB1 gene polymorphism and early respiratory and sedative adverse effects of intravenous fentanyl in Turkish patients who underwent spinal anesthesiaIn all 83 unrelated Turkish patients were enrolled in this study. In this study, spinal anesthesia was provided and a single dose of intravenous fentanyl (2.5 μg.kg−1) at the beginning of surgery was used as a sedative agent. Bispectral index, respiration rate and peripheral oxygen saturation were measured continuously and recorded throughout the study.The allele and genotype frequencies were similar to previous data from Turkish population.Respiratory rate (RR) and SpO2 parameters of the patients did not show any significant difference according to the genotype distribution for C1236T and C3435T SNPs. Fentanyl-induced decrease in respiration rate was most remarkable at 15 min (23%) in CC genotype of C1236T, whereas in TT genotype of C3435T (18%) polymorphism. SpO2 parameters in allele distribution were also not significant among the groups (p = 0.374, p = 0.985, respectively). For the C1236T polymorphism, patients carrying T allele showed a significant decrease in pH, and a significant increase in pCO2 (p < 0.001).ABCB1 polymorphisms did not seem to have a significant effect on sedation and respiratory depression caused by intravenous fentanyl in spinal anesthesia in Turkish patients.  相似文献

INTRODUCTION:

A polymorphism in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene was the first performance enhancing polymorphisms (PEPs) to be identified and correlated with athletic abilities. This polymorphism (rs. 5186) is the absence (deletion; D allele), rather than the presence (insertion, I allele) of 287bp Alu repeat element in intron 16. However, the association of ACE I/D polymorphism in sports abilities have been contradicted and debated. No study has evaluated the ACE gene polymorphism in Indian athletes so far. Hence, the genotype distribution and allelic frequency of ACE gene in selected Indian athletic and non-athletic population was studied.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

A total of 147 athletes and 131 controls were genotyped for the ACE gene polymorphism using PCR.

RESULTS:

No significant association was observed between the allelic frequencies of ACE gene in controls and athletes on a whole, as well as after sub-categorizing the athletes based on the type of sport they played (P > 0.1). However, a higher representation of I allele was observed in the athletes.

CONCLUSION:

ACE genotyping studies need to focus on truly elite athletes of a single sporting discipline, to be able to find an association. The ACE I/D polymorphism may not be considered a marker for human performance, but can be further studied in combination with other potent performance enhancing polymorphisms.  相似文献

Renin angiotensin system (RAS) comprising Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), Angiotensin II (Ang II) and its receptor Angiotensin II receptor type I (AGTR1), plays a critical role in several diseases including cancer. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) A1166C located in 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of AGTR1 and an insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism present in intron 16 of ACE gene have been associated with many diseases, but their association with Breast cancer (BCa) is still debatable. Here, we for the first time investigated the association of these polymorphisms in a North Indian BCa cohort including 161 patients and 152 healthy women. The polymorphisms were evaluated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) respectively. The association between these polymorphisms and BCa risk was estimated by calculating Odds Ratio (OR) and chi-square (χ2) test. The DD genotype/D allele of ACE (I/D) polymorphism and “AC and CC” genotype/C allele of AGTR1 (A1166C) polymorphism were associated with higher risk of BCa when evaluated independently. Furthermore, interaction analysis of “AC and CC” and DD genotype and combination of “C and D” alleles of both polymorphisms revealed significantly greater BCa risk than that observed independently. Conclusively, women harboring “AC or CC” genotype/C allele for AGTR1 (A1166C) polymorphism and DD genotype/D allele for ACE (I/D) polymorphisms have a predisposition to develop more aggressive disease with advanced staging and larger tumor size. Our study indicates importance of genetic screening based on these polymorphisms for women, who may have higher risk of BCa.  相似文献

Polymorphisms have been identified in several HSP70 genes, which may affect HSP70 repair efficiency. We investigated the association of the polymorphisms in HSPA1A, HSPA1B, and HSPA1L genes in the HSPs repair pathway with the risk of cataract in a Chinese population. The study included 415 cataract patients and 386 controls. Genotyping was done by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. HSPA1B 1267 A/A genotype seems to have a protective role against cataract (p = 0.014, odds ratio (OR) = 0.664, 95 % confidence intervals (CI) = 0.480–0.919), and the G allele (p = 0.057, OR = 1.216, 95 % CI = 0.999–1.479) does not seem to have a deleterious role in the development of cataract. Haplotypes with frequencies of GAT were significantly different than those of controls (p = 0.005). In HSPA1A G190C and HSPA1L T2437C polymorphisms, there were no significant differences in frequencies of the variant homozygous in patients compared to controls. We conclude that the A/A genotype of HSPA1B A1267G polymorphism seem to have a protective role against age-related cataract.  相似文献

Background The effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and endothelial Nitric Oxide synthase (eNOS) gene G894 → T on vascular disease in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients was rarely studied previously. We investigated such effect in a Chinese population. Methods A total of 153 ESRD patients with vascular disease (88 men and 65 women; mean age ± SD: 54.0 ± 13.2) were recruited. Polymerase chain reaction was used to classify the ACE genotypes as II, ID and DD and the eNOS genotypes as GG, GT, and TT. Analyses were performed in ESRD patients with vascular disease (n = 153) and the age-matched controls (n = 148). Results The frequencies of ACE DD and eNOS TT genotypes and ACE D and eNOS T alleles in ESRD patients with vascular disease were significantly higher than those in the controls (P < 0.05). There was a significant interaction between ACE I/D alleles and eNOS G894 → T polymorphism: adjusted odds ratio 2.128 (95%CI 1.022–4.434, P = 0.017). Conclusions These results indicated that the etiology of vascular disease in ESRD patients is associated with ACE and eNOS (G894 → T) gene polymorphisms. Our data also suggest that an interaction effect may exist between ACE (I/D) and eNOS (G894 → T) polymorphism in increasing the risk of vascular complications in ESRD patients  相似文献

We have previously shown that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene D allele is an independent risk factor for early onset coronary artery disease (CAD). Little is known about the concomitant presence of the ACE gene D allele and paraoxonase (PON1) codon 192 arginine (Arg) on the severity of CAD. Regarding the high rate of CAD among Iranians the aim of present study was to examine the hypothesis of synergistic effects between ACE-D and PON1-Arg alleles on predisposition and the severity of CAD in our population. The PON1 192 and ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) genotypes were detected by PCR-RFLP and PCR, respectively in 414 individuals undergoing their first coronary angiography. Patients were placed into one of two groups: CAD and control without CAD or diabetes. We mentioned the synergistic effects of both genes and not ACE gene alone is a risk factor for CAD. We found that PON1 Arg 192 and ACE D allele act synergistically to increase the risk of CAD (OR 1.3, P = 0.044). Our results showed a significant correlation between the possession of both PON1 192 Arg and the ACE D allele and the extent of CAD in CAD patients and CAD subjects without diabetes, represented by the increased frequency of three-vessel disease with OR 2.7, P = 0.046; χ2 = 4, P = 0.046 and OR 2.4, P = 0.051; χ2 = 3.8, P = 0.051, respectively. We found that PON1 Arg 192 and ACE D alleles act synergistically to increase the risk of CAD in CAD patients and CAD subjects without diabetes from west of Iran, who have high frequency of three-vessel disease. Our data suggest that PON1 192 Arg and the ACE D allele in combination with each other can be important independent risk factor for severity of CAD in patients carrying both PON1 192 Arg and the ACE D allele in a west population of Iran.  相似文献

Hypertension (HT) is a common and life threating health problem worldwide leading to stroke, heart attack and renal failure. It is characterized by elevated blood pressure forced heart load. Human interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C- reactive protein (CRP) are known to be involved in inflammatory processes. IL-6 gene is a polymorphic gene which −174 G/C is a common and −572 G/C is a rare polymorphisms identified in promoter region. Publications on IL-6 gene polymorphisms raised the question whether this gene polymorphisms lead to susceptibility to HT or not. To investigate the effects of IL-6 gene −174 G/C (rs 1800795) and −572 G/C (rs1800796) polymorphisms on plasma IL-6 and CRP levels and their associations with hypertension disease in Turkish population we analyzed −174 G/C and −572 G/C polymorphisms and plasma IL-6 and CRP levels in 111 healthy controls and 108 hypertension patients from Adıyaman, Turkey. We determined the genotypes using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and analyzed plasma levels of IL-6 by ELISA and CRP by automated standard biochemical methods. We have found no statistically significant differences between IL-6 gene −174 G/C and −572 G/C genotypes and allelic frequencies and IL-6 and CRP plasma levels and HT (p > 0.05). No CC genotype was found in control subjects for −572 G/C polymorphism. In conclusion, we found relation to −174 G/C and −572 G/C gene variants between neither IL-6 and CRP levels nor hypertension. The −572 G allele and GG genotype are predominant in Turkish population in Adıyaman, Turkey whereas the CC genotype is very rare.  相似文献

Genome-wide association studies have identified SNPs reproducibly associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We examined the effect of genetic predisposition to T2D on insulin sensitivity and secretion using detailed phenotyping in overweight individuals with no diagnosis of T2D. Furthermore, we investigated whether this genetic predisposition modifies the responses in beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity to a 24-week dietary intervention. We genotyped 25 T2D-associated SNPs in 377 white participants from the RISCK study. Participants underwent an IVGTT prior to and following a dietary intervention that aimed to lower saturated fat intake by replacement with monounsaturated fat or carbohydrate. We composed a genetic predisposition score (T2D-GPS) by summing the T2D risk-increasing alleles of the 25 SNPs and tested for association with insulin secretion and sensitivity at baseline, and with the change in response to the dietary intervention. At baseline, a higher T2D-GPS was associated with lower acute insulin secretion (AIRg 4% lower/risk allele, P = 0.006) and lower insulin secretion for a given level of insulin sensitivity, assessed by the disposition index (DI 5% lower/risk allele, P = 0.002), but not with insulin sensitivity (Si). T2D-GPS did not modify changes in insulin secretion, insulin sensitivity or the disposition index in response to the dietary interventions to lower saturated fat. Participants genetically predisposed to T2D have an impaired ability to compensate for peripheral insulin resistance with insulin secretion at baseline, but this does not modify the response to a reduction in dietary saturated fat through iso-energetic replacement with carbohydrate or monounsaturated fat.

The angiotensin-converting enzyme gene (ACE) insertion/deletion polymorphism was determined in 211 Mexican healthy individuals belonging to different Mexican ethnic groups (98 Mestizos, 64 Teenek, and 49 Nahuas). ACE polymorphism differed among Mexicans with a high frequency of the D allele and the D/D genotype in Mexican Mestizos. The D/D genotype was absent in Teenek and present in only one Nahua individual (2.0%). When comparisons were made, we observed that Caucasian, African, and Asian populations presented the highest frequencies of the D allele, whereas Amerindian (Teenek and Pima) and Australian Aboriginals showed the highest frequencies of the I allele. The distribution of I/D genotype was heterogeneous in all populations: Australian Aboriginals presented the lowest frequency (4.9%), whereas Nahuas presented the highest (73.4%). The present study shows the frequencies of a polymorphism not analyzed previously in Mexican populations and establishes that this polymorphism distinguishes the Amerindian populations of other groups. On the other hand, since ACE alleles have been associated with genetic susceptibility to developing cardiovascular diseases and hypertension, knowledge of the distribution of these alleles could help to define the true significance of ACE polymorphism as a genetic susceptibility marker in the Amerindian populations.  相似文献
