ACE Gene Polymorphism and renal responsiveness to ACE inhibitors in IgA nephropathy patients
We examined the renal responsiveness to ACE inhibitor in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients according to the grouping of ACE gene polymorphism. Sixty one patients diagnosed as IgAN by renal biopsy and prescribed with ACE inhibitors were enrolled. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood and PCR was performed. The I/D polymorphism was determined by the presence of the 287 bp fragment in intron 16...
متن کاملRenoprotective efficacy of renin-angiotensin inhibitors in IgA nephropathy is influenced by ACE A2350G polymorphism.
I mmunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) is the most prevalent form of primary glomerulonephritis and one of the principal causes of end stage renal disease (ESRD) throughout the world. 2 It is a complex disease, in which familial clustering suggests an inherited genetic predisposition. The disease has a variable clinical course, and one third of patients with IgAN progress to ESRD within 10–20 yea...
متن کاملpolymorphism in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) gene and ace activity in type 2 diabetic patients
diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease. it has recently been shown that an insertion (i)/deletion (d) polymorphism exists in the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) gene that can affect the serum ace level. there are three genotypes: dd, di, and ii, with the ace level being highest in dd, intermediate in di, and lowest in ii. in the present investigation, 170 patients with type 2 diabete...
متن کاملAce Gene Polymorphism
Discrepancies in angiotensin-1 converting enzyme (ACE) allele genetic susceptibility with disease etiology have been attributed to ethnic differences. We investigated ACE gene polymorphism of the multiethnic Malaysian population by utilizing nested polymerase chain reaction. Allelic frequency of 0.65 and 0.35 for I and D allele, respectively in the pooled population was comparable with other As...
متن کاملInteraction between ACE and ADD1 gene polymorphisms in the progression of IgA nephropathy in Japanese patients.
An interaction effect between the angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) and alpha-adducin (ADD1) Gly460Trp polymorphisms (G460W) on blood pressure regulation has recently been suggested, although its significance in the prognosis of renal function in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) has not been fully investigated. Therefore, we evaluated the clinical manifestations and renal prognos...
