海报摘要

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in developing countries like India, where the genes, proteins and environmental risk factors contribute to the pathogenesis of this disease. However, gene polymorphism are considered as the one of the important risk factor. The aim of our study was to find out the association of MTHFR (rs1801133) gene polymorphisms in genetic susceptibility of diabetic nephropathy in this population. A total of 15 cases with diabetic nephropathy, 40 cases with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus and 40 healthy control subjects were enrolled for our study. The genotypic distribution of MTHFR polymorphism in DN alleles showed DD 53.3%, Dd 33.3% and dd 13.4% ; while 60%, 25%, 15% in T2DM cases and 70%, 20%, 10% in control subjects. However, the percentage of C allele in controls (72.5%) and T allele in T2DM (27.5%) results shows conspicuous variations in their frequencies than compared to diabetic nephropathy (70%) among this study. No significant differences in genotype frequencies of MTHFR gene polymorphism were found in comparing patients with diabetic nephropathy with type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy controls (P>0.05). In conclusion the MTHFR gene polymorphism is not associated with susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy in our study population.
