Association of the ENPP1/ENTPD1 Polymorphisms in Hemodialysis Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

ENPP1 and ENTPD1 are two main enzymes involved in ATP-AMP-ADP-adenosine axis, which is associated with lipid metabolism, diabetes mellitus (DM) and renal fibrosis. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of ENPP1 and ENTPD1, rs1044498 and rs6584026, are associated with these factors. This retrospective study aimed to address the two SNPs variants in hemodialysis (HD) patients and analyzes their relations with clinical characteristics.

Methods

This study included 543 regular HD patients over 3 months at our center. Overnight fasting peripheral blood sample was taken from each subject to extract the DNA. The genotypes of rs1044498 and rs6584026 were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The basic clini
