Association of BsmI Polymorphisms in Vitamin D Receptor Gene With Diabetic Kidney Disease
In Brief
An observational study for Diabetic Kidney Disease. Completed, enrolled 93 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), as one of chronic complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus, is common cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Vitamin D deficiency is known as one of DKD risk factors. Recent studies on association between vitamin D deficiency and DKD had shown conflicting results. It may be due to vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms, which is affected by BsmI, Cdx2, ApaI, FokI, and TaqI gene. The investigators conducted cross-sectional study to investigate association between BsmI polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor gene with diabetic kidney disease Hypothesis: BsmI polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor gene is associated with diabetic kidney disease (DKD)
