The human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2 (PPARgamma2) Pro12Ala polymorphism is associated with decreased risk of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract excerpt

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2 (PPARgamma2) Pro12Ala polymorphism has been associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes and a lower albumin excretion rate (AER) in patients with established diabetes. We performed a case-control study aiming to evaluate the association between the Pro12Ala polymorphism and diabetic nephropathy. Genomic DNA was obtained from 104 type 2 diabetic...
