ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the mutant genes of ACE,ATN,β3-AR and hypertension in patients with type 2 DM.Methods281 recruited Chinese subjects were divided into two groups according to the mellitus (DM):112 cases.The subjects were genotyped for the ACE gene,the ATN gene and the codon 64 of β3-AR gene polymorphisms by applying polymerase chain reaction (PCR),PCR restriction fragment-length polymorphisms screening with the use of endonuclease.ResultsOur study found that the frequency of D/D genotype and D allele of ACE gene,a/a genotype and an allele of ATN gene in HT patients without DM were increased (P all <0.05);that the frequency of codon 64 mutation of β3-AR gene also increased in HT patients with NGT (P <0.05).In the model of multiple factors non-condition-al Logistic regression analyses,HT had relationship with history of hypertension,age and glucose tolerance (OR=10.745 7,1.780 4,2.034 6;P=0.000 4,0.000 0,0.024 6;respectively),with polymorphism of ATN gene,β3AR gene,ACE gene (OR=2.273 6,1.935 3,1.830 9;P=0.054 3,0.028 7,0.043 2;resceptively).ConclusionThese results suggest that variants of ACE gene,β3AR gene,ATN gene were associated with HT in type 2 DM.``
