Effect of MTHFR C677T genotype on survival in type 2 diabetes patients with end-stage diabetic nephropathy

Abstract: MTHFR 677TT genotype was significantly underrepresented in patients with ESRD in our study, but was not associated with premature mortality in these patients. We found no evidence for survival bias due to C677T genotype in the ESRD cohort, or bias due to genetically determined accelerated progression to novel microalbuminuria in the controls. However, we cannot exclude that the TT genotype protects from progression from microalbuminuria to more advanced stages of DNP, or that TT genotype is associated with pre… Show more

“…Although disequilibrium may arise from inbreeding, we were not aware of any consanguinity within the population as we recruited the subjects from a large urban area. As previously suggested, a deviation could be a consequence of the recruiting strategy despite the fact that the other tested polymorphism did not deviate from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (Böger et al, 2005(Böger et al, , 2007Kim et al, 2010). A potential explanation is a sampling bias because all subjects were male.…”

“…30 mg per day); the presence of a GFR 6 60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 is not always taken as a criterion defining controls [75] . Cases are mostly those with overt proteinuria (defined mostly as 1 300 mg per day) and/or ESRD in the absence of other possible causes of ESRD [76][77][78] . The presence of diabetic retinopathy is required by some studies [15,75] since this makes the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy more likely.…”

“…Studies were conducted in populations of various ethnicity: eight involved Caucasians (Bluthner et al 1999;Makita et al 2003;Moczulski et al 2003;Boger et al 2007;Ksiazek et al 2004;Shcherbak et al 1999;Smyth et al 1999), five East Asians Fujita et al 1999;Odawara and Yamashita 1999;Neugebauer et al 1998;Yoshioka et al 2004), one a mixed population (Shpichinetsky et al 2000), and one Arabs (Mtiraoui et al 2007). Eleven studies involved cases with type 2 diabetes (Shpichinetsky et al 2000;Sun et al 2004;Bluthner et al 1999;Fujita et al 1999;Odawara and Yamashita 1999;Moczulski et al 2003;Boger et al 2007;Ksiazek et al 2004;Neugebauer et al 1998;Mtiraoui et al 2007;Yoshioka et al 2004), and four type 1 diabetes (Bluthner et al 1999;Makita et al 2003;Shcherbak et al 1999;Smyth et al 1999). One study provided data for males and females separately .…”

“…One study (Bluthner et al 1999) did not specify what proportion of cases had microalbuminuria. Sensitivity analyses were performed for studies that may involve cases with microalbuminuria (Shcherbak et al 1999;Bluthner et al 1999;Shpichinetsky et al 2000;Sun et al 2004;Mtiraoui et al 2007), and for studies involving cases with chronic renal failure (CRF) and/or end stage renal disease (ESRD) (Makita et al 2003;Moczulski et al 2003;Mtiraoui et al 2007;Boger et al 2007). A list of details abstracted from the studies included in the metaanalysis is provided in Table 1.…”
