Abstract excerpt
It is possible that myeloperoxidase (MPO) contributes to the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy through the production of reactive oxygen species and HOCl/OCl⁻. In this study, we examined the relationship between renal damage and MPO G-463A gene polymorphism that is associated with its transcription activity in diabetic patients. We evaluated the association between MPO G-463A polymorphism and the prevalence of...
