Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor ?2 gene P12A polymorphism and type 2 diabetic nephropathy in Han population in Shanghai / 上海第二医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

0.05).Frequencies of P12A12 genotype and A12 allele in DN group were significantly decreased respectively,when compared with DN-0 group(for P12A12 genotype,9.1% vs 18.1%,P=0.034,OR=0.453;for A12 allele,4.5% vs 9.0%,P=0.041,OR=0.479). Conclusion The observations suggest that P12A polymorphism of PPAR?2 gene is associated with Chinese type 2 diabetic nephropathy,and A12 allele may protect the development of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients of Chinese.
