To determine the potential genotype vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene differences in diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which might be associated with different stages of the vascular disease.
A study was conducted with type 2 diabetic patients with PAD [n = 70; 32 intermittent claudication and 38 critical limb ischaemia (CLI)]. Genotyping of the VEGF gene insertion/deletion - 2549, - 2578 C/A and +405 G/C polymorphisms was done in both groups and correlated them with the severity of PAD. We compared serum VEGF levels in both groups.
There was a higher frequency of +405 CC and - 2578 CC genotypes in claudication group [(31.3% vs. 5.4%, p = 0.01) and (37.5% vs. 15.8%, p = 0.05), respectively]. The presence of +405 GG and - 2578 AA genotypes was more common among CLI patients [(57.8% vs. 37.5%, p = 0.01) and (42.1% vs. 18.8%, p = 0.05), respectively]. There were higher serum VEGF levels in patients with CLI (p = 0.029).
We found preliminary evidence regarding the association between VEGF polymorphisms and different stages of PAD in diabetic patients.
确定糖尿病伴外周动脉疾病(PAD)患者血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)基因的潜在基因型差异,这些差异可能与血管疾病的不同阶段相关。
对2型糖尿病伴PAD患者进行研究(n = 70;32例间歇性跛行和38例严重肢体缺血(CLI))。对两组患者进行VEGF基因插入/缺失-2549、-2578 C/A和+405 G/C多态性基因分型,并将其与PAD的严重程度相关联。我们比较了两组患者的血清VEGF水平。
跛行组中+405 CC和-2578 CC基因型的频率较高[分别为(31.3%对5.4%,p = 0.01)和(37.5%对15.8%,p = 0.05)]。+405 GG和-2578 AA基因型在CLI患者中更为常见[分别为(57.8%对37.5%,p = 0.01)和(42.1%对18.8%,p = 0.05)]。CLI患者的血清VEGF水平较高(p = 0.029)。
我们发现了关于VEGF基因多态性与糖尿病患者PAD不同阶段之间关联的初步证据。
