The variants of angiotensin converting enzyme () and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) genes might be involved in the pathogenesis of end stage renal disease (ESRD) and hypertension. We studied the insertion/deletion (I/D) and A-181G variants in 99 unrelated ESRD patients and 117 individuals without renal complications from Western Iran with Kurdish ethnic background. The frequency of I/D variants was not significantly different between ESRD patients and controls. However, the presence of D allele increased the risk of hypertension in ESRD patients by 2.14-fold (P=0.036). The -181 AG genotype increased the risk of ESRD by 2.04 times (P=0.026). The present study indicated the absence of an association between the I/D polymorphism with the risk of ESRD. However, the ACE D allele increased the risk of hypertension in ESRD patients. Also, the present study suggests a role for AG genotype in the pathogenesis of ESRD.
血管紧张素转换酶（ACE）和基质金属蛋白酶（MMPs）基因的变异可能参与终末期肾病（ESRD）和高血压的发病机制。我们研究了来自伊朗西部库尔德族背景的99例无关ESRD患者和117例无肾脏并发症个体中的ACE插入/缺失（I/D）和ACE A-181G变异。ESRD患者和对照组之间ACE I/D变异的频率无显著差异。然而，ACE D等位基因的存在使ESRD患者患高血压的风险增加了2.14倍（P = 0.036）。ACE -181 AG基因型使ESRD风险增加了2.04倍（P = 0.026）。本研究表明ACE I/D多态性与ESRD风险之间不存在关联。然而，ACE D等位基因增加了ESRD患者患高血压的风险。此外，本研究提示AG基因型在ESRD发病机制中起作用。
