| Abstract | ||||
| Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are important risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD). The purpose of the present study was to identify genetic variants that confer susceptibility to CKD in individuals with or without hypertension or diabetes mellitus, thereby contributing to the personalized prevention of CKD in such individuals separately. The study population comprised 299 unrelated individuals, including 176 subjects with CKD and 172 controls. The 75 polymorphisms were selected by genome-wide association studies of chronic kidney disease and hypertension with the use of the Gene Chip Human Mapping 500K Array Set (Affymetrix). The genotypes for these polymorphisms were determined by a method that combines polymerase chain reaction and sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes with suspension array technology. The χ2 test, multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for covariates, as well as a stepwise forward selection procedure revealed that two different polymorphisms were significantly (P<0.005) associated with the prevalence of CKD in individuals with or without hypertension or diabetes mellitus: the A→G (Lys625Arg) polymorphism of CDH4 (rs6142884) in individuals without diabetes mellitus, and the C→T polymorphism of PTPRN2 (rs1638021) in individuals with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. No polymorphism was significantly associated with CKD in individuals with or without hypertension, in those with diabetes mellitus, or in those without hypertension or diabetes mellitus. Stratification of subjects based on hypertension or diabetes mellitus may thus be fundamental to achieving the personalized prevention of CKD with the use of genetic information.This preliminary study provided information on the frequency of CKD and its associated risk factors in the Hail region. However, larger population needs to be studied to establish the role of these risk factors in the etiology of CKD in Hail region. | ||||
