“…Thus, we segregated to male and female populations and the DD genotype was found to be the major risk determinants of CKD among female (OR = 2.40) population. This result was also supported by previous results from France [27] and Mexican population [26]. Furthermore, recently our group [28] reported that female is more prone to hypertension after menopause in Tamilnadu population.…”

“…Thus, the contribution of ACE gene polymorphism to the heritable part of risk for diabetic nephropathy seems important, and is supported by findings from published meta-analyses [28,62] along with other studies done among Indians [31,63], Japanese [29], French [64], Egyptian [65] and Taiwan [27] diabetic patients. However, our results do not coincide with studies done among Chinese [66], Tunisian [55], French [56], Turkish [34] and Iranian [67] diabetic cases. This discrepancy in polymorphisms association studies may be reconciled by several factors, with ethnic/racial and geographic differences being a potential reason i.e.…”

“…Therefore, we suggest that the genetic variation at the ACE locus as D/D variant in intron 16, contribute to an increased risk of nephropathy in T2DM patients, but not extent of DN severity (as the allelic or genotypic distribution was comparable between the two DN groups) in studied population. Our findings were in conformity with other studies [26][27][28][29][30][31] but not all [32,55,56]. This difference may possibly be due to different races, methods of quantitation and patient selection; as proteinuria in adults is a multifactorial condition frequently linked with diabetes, the issue of whether proteinuria is due to diabetes or some other etiology remains debatable, but there was no uncertainty in our group of patients on the role of T2DM in diabetic nephropathy constitution as we excluded the patients who had proteinuria/renal disorders before their diabetes was diagnosed, thus we confined our study to diabetic kidney diseases.…”

“…The conclusions of individual association studies of the I/D ACE polymorphism and nephropathy syndrome differ due to different ethnic background [4] and different dietary habits. The minor D allele was not associated with type 2 diabetic nephropathy in a European population [7,[58][59][60][61][62] and the results from our study confirmed this fact. On the contrary, the association was proven for type 2 diabetic patients from an Asian population [31,[63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70] with the exception of four studies [71][72][73][74].…”
