BACKGROUND Atrial natriuretic peptide is involved in blood pressure regulation via its vasodilating and natriuretic actions. Since diabetic nephropathy and hypertension are closely related, ANP is a reasonable candidate gene for diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS We genotyped 410 patients with type I diabetes (without DN n = 307; with DN n = 103) and 658 patients with type II diabetes (without DN n = 464; with DN n = 194). In the patients the duration of diabetes was at least 10 years. Diabetic nephropathy was defined as urinary albumin excretion of > or = 30 mg/24 h. The HpaII polymorphism in intron 2 of the ANP gene was determined using PCR amplification followed by restriction digest. Alleles were separated on agarose gels stained with ethidium bromide. RESULTS We compared genotype distribution and allele frequencies between patients with and without nephropathy. No significant difference was observed either in type I (allele frequency without DN H1, 0.02/H2, 0.98 vs with DN H1, 0.05/H2, 0.95; P = 0.132) or in type II diabetes (allele frequency without DN H1, 0.04/H2, 0.96 vs with DN H1, 0.05/H2, 0.95; P = 0.551). CONCLUSIONS The polymorphism in the gene for the atrial natriuretic peptide does not seem to play a major role in the development of diabetic nephropathy in either type I or in type II diabetes.

D007438 Introns Sequences of DNA in the genes that are located between the EXONS. They are transcribed along with the exons but are removed from the primary gene transcript by RNA SPLICING to leave mature RNA. Some introns code for separate genes.

D011110 Polymorphism, Genetic The regular and simultaneous occurrence in a single interbreeding population of two or more discontinuous genotypes. The concept includes differences in genotypes ranging in size from a single nucleotide site (POLYMORPHISM, SINGLE NUCLEOTIDE) to large nucleotide sequences visible at a chromosomal level.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
