IL10 haplotypes are associated with diabetic nephropathy susceptibility in patients from western Mexico.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) is the main cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in diabetic patients. An IL-10 imbalance could be related to renal hypertrophy and trigger to nephropathy. Three promoter polymorphisms (-1082G>A, -819C>T, and -592C>A) at IL10 gene have been associated with changes in the IL-10 expression and DN susceptibility. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze this association in Mexican patients with DN. METHODS:We conducted a case-control study on 128 patients with DN and 150 control subjects (CS) from western Mexico. All patients were tested for IL10 polymorphisms by PCR-RFLP. Allele frequencies, genotypes, and haplotypes were compared between groups. The significant haplotypes were correlated with patient clinical features. RESULTS:IL10 gene ATC haplotype (-1082A/-819T/-592C) was found significantly more frequent in DN patients than in CS (P < 0.001; OR = 3.6, 95% CI: 1.7-7.4). Similarly GTA (-1082G/-819T/-592A) haplotype was more frequent in DN patients than CS with significant differences (P < 0.05; OR = 4.02, 95% CI: 1.10-14.78). There were no correlations between IL10 haplotypes and clinical parameters in patients with DN. However, that there is a trend of higher serum urea levels and lower eGFR in ATC haplotype carriers compared to carriers of the other haplotypes (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate that IL10 promoter haplotypes ATC and GTA carriers have a higher risk factor to develop DN in the western Mexican population.
