Interaction of eNOS polymorphism with MTHFR variants increase the risk of diabetic nephropathy and its progression in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
The present study has investigated the role of endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS) G894T polymorphism and its interaction with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C variants on the predisposition to diabetic nephropathy and its progression. Using polymerase chain reaction–restrict...

Zusammenfassung: | The present study has investigated the role of endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS) G894T polymorphism and its interaction with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T and A1298C variants on the predisposition to diabetic nephropathy and its progression. Using polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) method the eNOS G894T and MTHFR polymorphisms were detected in 72 microalbuminuric, 68 macroalbuminuric, and 72 normoalbuinuric type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients from Western Iran. The presence of GT and GT + TT genotypes of eNOS were associated with insignificantly 1.86- and 1.68-fold increased risk of macroalbuminuria, respectively and 1.21- and 1.13-fold increased risk of microalbuminuria, respectively. However, the concomitant presence of eNOST and MTHFR 1298C alleles were significantly increased the risk of macroalbuminuria (6.6-fold,
