Abstract
Aim: to study the relation of angiotensin-converting enzyme ACE (I/D) in genetic susceptibility of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods. I/D polymorphism of ACE gene was studied in 58 patients with diabetes type 2. Results. There are no reliable differences in detection of DD genotype and D allele in patients with DN and without DN (40,9 and 52,3 %, 19,4 and 41,7 %, respectively) (p = 0,076, LR = 0,313, 95 % DI = 0,084-1,164 for DD and p = 0,266, LR = 0,631, 95 % DI = 0,303-1,312 for D). Conclusion. The comparison of the results of genotyping in patients with and without DN did not reveal any differences in distribution of allele and ACE genotypes.
