AB  - Frequency of arterial calcification is high in diabetic patients, particularly in 
      those with end-stage renal disease. A familial syndrome of aortic calcification, 
      difference in the prevalence of arterial calcification among different races and 
      different strains of mice suggest the contribution of genetic factor to arterial 
      calcification. Among candidate genes, a common polymorphism in the promoter of 
      Matrix matalloproteinase 3 gene (MMP3) has been reported to be associated with 
      arterial calcification. Elucidation of genetic basis of arterial calcification 
      will contribute to develop effective methods for prediction, prevention and 
      intervention of this complication.
