[The relationship between angiotensin converting enzyme gene polymorphism and hypertensive kidney lesion and PAI-1 in hypertension patients].
The work is to explore the relationship between the polymorphism of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene and hypertensive kidney lesion/PAI-1 in hypertension patients. ACE genotyping with polymorase chain reaction (PCR) was performed in 96 unrelated healthy controls, 67 hypertensives without kidney lesion and 70 hypertensives complicated with kidney lesion. The plasma PAI-1 were determined with ELISA. No significant differences could be detected between ACE gene I/D polymorphism and hypertension. However, the frequencies of DD genotype and deletion allele among the hypertensives complicated with kidney lesion were higher than those among the healthy controls and those among the hypertensives without kidney lesion."chi2" values were 6.8589,5.6162 and 5.9085,5.372 respectively. The plasma PAI-1 level showed significant differences among DD genotype,ID genotype and II genotype(P<0.05). The DD genotype of ACE gene may be a risk for hypertensive kidney lesion. The plasma PAI-1 level is associated with ACE gene polymorphism.
