| Research Abstract |
Aim of the study) The relation of angiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphism to the modes of onset of several renal glomerular diseases was studied.
Methods) Genomic DNA of leukocytes was purified for PCR from 63 patients with several glomerular diseases by usual method. PCR was performed to detect insetion (I allele) or deletion (D allele) of Alu sequence in intron 16 of angiotensin converting enzyme gene. These results compared with the modes of onset in each patients.
Results) In patients with IgA nephropathy, the number of DD polymorphism was dominant (II9, ID 4, DD 5, respectively), on the other hand, in patients with asymptomatic hematuria, II polymorphism was dominant ( II11, lD 10, DD 1, respectively).In patients with proteinuria at onset of glomerular diseases, DD polymorphism was dominant compared with the patients showed hematuria alone at the onset (proteinuria ; II8, ID 10, DD 6, hematuria alone ; II20, IID 16, DD 2, respectively).
Conclusion) The polymorphism of angiotensin converting enzyme gene may affects the modes of onset as well as the pregression of renal glomerular diseases.
