ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Impairment of nitric oxide generation caused by gene polymorphism is considered as a major factor in the deterioration of progressive renal disease, including diabetic nephropathy and hypertension. The aim of the present study was to examine the Glu298Asp polymorphism of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD).METHODS:
The Glu298Asp polymorphism in exon 7 was determined in 100 ESRD patients who were maintained on hemodialysis at Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia, and in a control group of 100 unrelated healthy individuals. In the patient group, 39 patients had Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), 44 hypertension (HT) and 17 miscellaneous conditions. The mean length of time from onset of ESRD to the start of this study was 24.37 +/- 32.37 months (Mean +/- SD).RESULTS:
The positivity of Glu298Asp in the ESRD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.0001). The odds ratio for this group was 4.57 (95% confidence interval 2.52 - 8.31). The positivity of 298Asp in Type 2 DM ESRD with subgroup was significantly higher than that in healthy controls (p < 0.0001). The positivity of 298Asp in the subgroup of patients with HT-derived ESRD was also significantly higher (males p < 0.036, females p < 0.005) than that in healthy control group. Homozygotes with glutamate to aspartate substitution at nucleotide position 7702 showed a single band at 457 bp.CONCLUSION:
It appears that Glu298Asp may be a predisposing factor in DM-derived and HT-derived ESRD.
