Polymorphisms in the von Willebrand factor gene are not associated with proliferative retinopathy in NIDDM

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Von Willebrand factor, a multimeric glycoprotein synthesised mainly by endothelial cells, is involved in platelet adhesion and aggregation and performs an important role in the process of angiogenesis. Increased levels of von Willebrand factor, reflecting activation or damage of endothelial cells, have been described in association with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). We investigated the relationships of two polymorphisms (-1793G/C and Thr789Ala) in the von Willebrand factor gene with PDR. Genotypes were detected by polymerase chain reactions with subsequent restrictions with specific endonucleases. Allele frequencies were determined in an association study (n=371) comprising three groups of subjects (diabetics with and without retinopathy and non-diabetics). Allele frequencies of the -1793G/C and Thr789Ala did not differ between the NIDDM+PDR and the NIDDM non-PDR groups (P>0.05). However, a statistically significant difference in allele and genotype frequencies of the -1793
