Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a method for diagnosing a genetic predisposition for the development of diabetic kidney complications, cardiovascular disease, and cerebrovascular accident in individuals with type 2 or type 1 diabetes. This is achieved by analyzing certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PKC-β1 gene and related regulatory regions. The invention also provides a kit or array for diagnosing the genetic predisposition and a method for treating or preventing the diseases in individuals with the genetic predisposition.

Problems solved by technology

Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients.
However, it is often not possible to predict which subjects with diabetes are at increased risk of developing renal complications, especially the ESRD.

Study Participants

[0055]Our cohort consists of 1338 unrelated patients with type 2 diabetes from the Hong Kong Diabetes Registry (HKDR) enrolled between 1995 and 1998. All subjects were of southern Han Chinese ancestry residing in Hong Kong. Patients with classical type 1 diabetes (defined as acute presentation with diabetic ketoacidosis, heavy ketonuria (>3+), or continuous requirement of insulin within 1 year of diagnosis) were excluded. In addition, patients with incomplete clinical information (N=4), follow-up period less than 3 years (N=145), requirement of dialysis at baseline (N=1), or had ESRD defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 15 ml / min per 1.73 m2 at enrollment (N=16) were excluded. The study design, ascertainment, inclusion criteria and phenotyping of the study subjects have been described6 27. For this analysis, a total of 1172 unrelated patients with type 2 diabetes were included (mean (±SD) age 56.0±11.9 years, 41.3% male, disease d...

Abstract

A method for diagnosing a genetic predisposition in a subject for diseases, disorders or conditions including a diabetic kidney complication such as kidney disease of type 2 diabetes or type 1 diabetes, end stage renal disease (ESRD) due to type 2 diabetes, ESRD due to hypertension in type 2 diabetes, ESRD due to type 1 diabetes; cardiovascular diseases due to type 2 diabetes or type 1 diabetes such as atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease, hypertension, ischemic cardiomyopathy, and myocardial infarction due to type 2 diabetes or type 1 diabetes; and cerebrovascular accident due to type 2 diabetes. At least one polynucleotide is analyzed to detect a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), in which the presence of the single nucleotide polymorphism indicates that the subject is suffering from, at risk for, or suspected of suffering from the diseases, disorders or conditions. Also provided is an array or kit for diagnosing the genetic predisposition.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to methods, kits and arrays for diagnosing or detecting a subject's genetic susceptibility for a disease, condition, or disorder in a subject, in particular for diabetic kidney complications including end stage renal disease (ESRD), and other cardiovascular diseases.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. With the rising epidemic of diabetes in both developing and developed countries, diabetes is now the major contributing cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD). Asia is in the midst of an epidemic of type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus)1 2 3. A recent large-scale epidemiology survey estimated that there are 94.2 million adults affected by diabetes in China, with another 148.2 million with prediabetes4. Renal failure or ESRD is an important cause of mortality among patients with type 2 diabetes5 6. Asian populations appear t...
