Abstract:
:The Pro12Ala and C161T polymorphisms in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) have been shown to be associated with carotid artery atherosclerosis. It remains unclear whether these two polymorphisms are associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Therefore, the PPARγ genotypes in 99 HD patients and 149 controls were determined, and clinical characteristics among the different genotypes were compared. We found that the frequency of the Pro12Ala and C161T polymorphisms in HD patients was similar to that in healthy controls, but C161T polymorphism and T allele frequencies in HD patients with CVD were lower than that in HD patients without CVD. Carotid artery plaque (CAP) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in HD patients with CT + TT or Pro12Ala genotypes were also less than that in patients with CCor Pro12Pro genotypes, respectively. HD patients with CT + TT genotype had lower serum C reactive protein (CRP) levels, as well as higher triceps skin fold (TSF) thickness, mid arm circumference (MAC) and mean mid arm circumference (MMAC) than HD patients with CC genotype (P < 0.05). Moreover, CIMT of the Pro12Ala-CT161 subgroup was less than the Pro12Pro-CC161 and Pro12Pro-CT161 subgroup, and, CAP amounts of the Pro12Ala-CT161 subgroup was less than the Pro12Pro-CC161 subgroup. Our results indicate that the Pro12Ala and C161T polymorphisms were associated with some important risk factors for CVD in HD patients in the Han Chinese population.
