Is rs759853 polymorphism in promoter of aldose reductase gene a risk factor for diabetic nephropathy? A meta-analysis
BACKGROUND So far, a number of case-control or cohort studies have been carried out to investigate the relationship between rs759853 polymorphism in the promoter of aldose reductase (AR) gene and the risk of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the results have generated considerable controversy. We performed this study to clarify the linkage between this gene mutation and the risk of DN. METH...
متن کاملAn updated meta-analysis of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene 677C/T polymorphism with diabetic nephropathy and diabetic retinopathy.
Studies investigating the association of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene 677C/T polymorphism with diabetic nephropathy and diabetic retinopathy have so far reported inconclusive results. We therefore aim to address this inconclusiveness by conducting a meta-analysis. Random-effects model was applied irrespective of between-study heterogeneity. Data and study quality were assess...
متن کاملA Meta-Analysis of Association between Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Gene (MTHFR) 677C/T Polymorphism and Diabetic Retinopathy
AIMS To shed light on the conflicting findings of the association between the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR) 677C/T polymorphism and the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR), a meta-analysis was conducted. METHODS A predefined search was performed on 1747 DR cases and 3146 controls from 18 published studies by searching electronic databases and reference lists of relevant artic...
متن کاملAssociation of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene A1298C polymorphism with stroke risk based on a meta-analysis.
Several independent studies have reported the role of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR) A1298C polymorphism in strokes, but the results are inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, a meta-analysis was performed in the present study. In this meta-analysis, a total of 13 studies, including 1974 cases and 2660 controls, were selected to evaluate the...
متن کاملMutated methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase as a risk factor for spina bifida.
Periconceptional folate supplementation reduces the risk of neural-tube defects. We studied the frequency of the 677C-->T mutation in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene in 55 patients with spina bifida and parents of such patients (70 mothers, 60 fathers). 5% of 207 controls were homozygous for the 677C-->T mutation compared with 16% of mothers, 10% of fathers, and 13% of...
