Polymorphisms in MYH9 are associated with diabetic nephropathy in European Americans.
BACKGROUND Polymorphisms in the non-muscle myosin IIA gene (MYH9) are associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and non-diabetic end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in African Americans and FSGS in European Americans. We tested for association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MYH9 with T2DM-ESRD in European Americans; additionally, three APOL1 gene variants were evaluated...
متن کاملDiabetic nephropathy in African Americans.
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the number one cause of end-stage renal disease in United States and is highly prevalent in African Americans. We have found that among African Americans in Mississippi diabetic nephropathy appears to affect females more than males, which may be related to increased rates of obesity and diabetes in African American women. Glycemic control and control of blood pressu...
متن کاملDiabetic nephropathy among Mexican Americans
The incidence of diabetic nephropathy (DN) is growing rapidly worldwide as a consequence of the rising prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Among U.S. ethnic groups, Mexican Americans have a disproportionately high incidence and prevalence of DN and associated end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In communities bordering Mexico, as many as 90% of Mexican American patients with ESRD also su...
متن کاملGenotypes associated with myocardial infarction risk are more common in African Americans than in European Americans.
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to describe the frequencies of multiple myocardial infarction (MI) risk-associated genotypes among different racial groups. BACKGROUND Racial disparities in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are well known. Recent large Japanese case-control studies identified connexin-37 (GJA-4), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and stromelysin-1 (MMP...
متن کاملPolymorphisms of eNOS gene are associated with diabetic nephropathy: a meta-analysis.
The aim of the current study is to assess the association between the alleles of endothelial nitric oxide synthases (eNOS) gene 4b/a, G894T, T786C polymorphisms and diabetic nephropathy (DN) through meta-analyses. We also performed a subgroup analysis based on ethnicity (Caucasians, East-Asian and other populations). A total of 3793 patients (DN) and 3161 controls (diabetes without nephropathy)...
