Studies exploring gene and environment interactions with endothelial nitric oxide synthase polymorphisms may help understand better the genetics of diabetic nephropathy.
We evaluated the association of -786T>C (promoter region), Glu298Asp (Exon 7), and 4b4a (Intron 4) polymorphisms in eNOS gene with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and DN by haplotype analysis.
This study aimed to elucidate the roles of eNOS and the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphism for the progression of type 2 diabetic nephropathy (DN).
We conclude that there is no association of the ecNOS gene polymorphism with the development of diabetic nephropathy in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
