Abstract

Abstract : To investigate the correlations between SIRT1 gene polymorphisms and diabetic kidney disease (DKD). There were 150 patients with DKD in the observation group (urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) ≥ 300 mg 24 h −1 ), and 160 patients with a more than 10 year history of type 2 diabetes but without retinopathy and DKD (UAER < 30 mg 24 h −1 ) in the control group. Genotypes of three tagged single-nucleotide polymorphism loci (rs3818292, rs4746720 and rs10823108) in the SIRT1 gene in the two groups were detected. Risks of DKD for patients with the GG and GG + AG genotype in the rs10823108 locus of the SIRT1 gene were 2.96 and 2.92 times higher than that for AA genotype carriers, respectively. The risk of DKD for patients with the GG genotype in the rs3818292 locus was 0.23 times and 0.21 times higher than that for AA and for AA + AG genotype carriers, respectively, and the risk of DKD for patients with allele G was 0.66 times higher than that for allele A carriers. There was no significant difference in genotype frequency of rs4746720 locus gene polymorphisms between the observation and control groups. The SIRT1 gene is a genetic susceptibility gene of DKD. Mutation genotype GG and GG + AG in the rs10823108 locus can increase the risk of DKD. Mutation genotype GG and allele G in the rs3818292 locus can decrease the risk of DKD.
