Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic renal insufficiency among Asian Indians with type 2 diabetes: I. Role of RAAS gene polymorphisms

TL;DR: SNPs Met235Thr in angiotensinogen, T>C (-344) in aldosterone synthase, and G>A (-1903) in chymase genes are significantly associated with diabetic chronic renal insufficiency in Indian patients and warrant replication in larger sample sets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of TGFβ1, TNFα, CCR2 and CCR5 gene polymorphisms in type-2 diabetes and renal insufficiency among Asian Indians

TL;DR: Of the various cytokine gene polymorphisms tested, allele 59029A of CCR5 gene is significantly associated with diabetic renal insufficiency among Asian Indians, in conformity with reports from a Japanese population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress pathway genes and chronic renal insufficiency in Asian Indians with Type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: The nonreplication of association suggests differential genetic susceptibility of the two populations to diabetic chronic renal insufficiency and oxidative stress pathway genes might be an important predictor for the development of diabetic complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association analysis of ADPRT1, AKR1B1, RAGE, GFPT2 and PAI-1 gene polymorphisms with chronic renal insufficiency among Asian Indians with type-2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Association of SNPs in RAGE and GFPT2 suggest that the genes involved in modulation of oxidative pathway could be major contributor to diabetic chronic renal insufficiency and G FPT2 could be a relevant target for pharmacological intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of dopaminergic pathway gene polymorphisms with chronic renal insufficiency among Asian Indians with type-2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Some polymorphisms in DRD2 and COMT genes are significantly associated with susceptibility to CRI in the Asian Indian population which, if confirmed, would be consistent with a suggested role of dopamine metabolism in disease occurrence.
