PG - 475-80 AB - We determined the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-coverting enzyme (ACE) gene in a multicenter trial of ethnically homogeneous Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. All patients (n = 748) were divided into 5 groups as follows: group I (normoalbuminuric patients), group II (microalbuminuric patients), group III (overt albuminuric patients with serum creatinine (s-Cr) levels of less than 1.2 mg/dl), group IV (overt albuminuric patients with s-Cr levels of more than 1.3 mg/dl but excluding hemodialysis patients), and group V (hemodialysis patients). We selected patients with a diabetic duration of more than 15 years in the mild stage (groups I and II), but placed no limits on those in the advanced and end-stages (groups III, IV and V). The frequency of the DD genotype was slightly higher in the advanced and end stages. The frequency of the DD genotype in the mild stage differed from that in the end stage (II/ID/DD 47.8%/41.0%/11.2% vs. 37.0 %/43.3%/19.7% p = 0.07, II + ID/DD 88.8%/11.2% vs. 80.3%/19.7%, p < 0.05). D allele frequency in the mild stage also differed from that in the end stage (I/D 68.3%/31.7% vs. 58.7%/41.3%, p < 0.02). The presence of the DD genotype increased the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) more than that of the other genotypes (odds ratio ID/II = 1.37, 95% CI 0.82-2.27; DD/II = 2.27, 95% CI 1.12-4.61). It appears that the DD genotype is associated with progression of Japanese type 2 diabetic nephropathy.
