ACE gene polymorphism and serum ACE level with Progression of Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Abstract: Background. One of the most common complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) is diabetic nephropathy (DN).  Angiotensin- converting enzyme (ACE) gene was the first candidate gene of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) for predisposition to DN.Objective. Investigation whether the ACE insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism is associated with Egyptian type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM) with nephropathy. In addition, the study investigated the relationship between variants of ACE I/D gene polymorphism and serum ACE level and… Show more

“…In Palestine, the D/D genotype was the most frequent genotype as demonstrated by the present study and this result is also similar to other studies [8,12], as it was shown to be the most frequent genotype in Iraq [13], while the I/D genotype was the most frequent genotype in Turkey [14] and the UAE [6]. Some countries like Egypt [15,16] have an inconstant frequency for the genotypes, and this may be related to the sample size, the population of the study or the techniques used in the determination of ACE gene polymorphism. However, other countries the distribution of the genotypes is constant, such as Palestine [12] and Iraq [13], also in this study ACE alleles frequency compared to different studies, where D allele was more frequent in this study and other studies [6,[12][13][14], whereas the I allele had the highest frequency in another study [16].…”

“…In this study, there was no statistically significant association between ACE genotypes with HD in T2DM patients and this is similar to other studies such as in Tunisia [20], but is dissimilar to other studies conducted in Tunisia [10], Egypt [16] and Iraqi [13], which found an increase inT2DM risk in D/D genotype individuals.…”

“…Consequently, genotype I/I for the ACE polymorphism could be a reduced risk marker, meaning that patients are less likely to develop DN during the course of T2DM (Boright et al, 2005;Freathy et al, 2006;Bhaskar et al, 2013;Shaker et al, 2014;Mizuiri et al, 1995;Verlengia et al, 2014). Our study demonstrated that the D/D genotype evaluated separately is a marker for predicting the susceptibility to DN of T2DM carriers even after adjustments for potential confounders, such as gender, age, and mainly duration of diabetes.…”

“…, Iran9 , Tunisia29 , Turkey30 , South India31 and others who have all failed to confirm the association of the ACE gene I/D polymorphism with diabetic nephropathy. On the other hand, a strong association between the ACED/D genotype and/or the D allele and the risk for nephropathy in T2DM was found in Egypt23 , Iraq25 , Pakistan27 , South Indian 32 , Bahrain33 and Japan34 .…”
