Abstract

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM) represents a complex metabolic disease with genetic heterogeneity and increasing worldwide prevalence. One of the candidate genes associated with T2 DM and diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene. The present research aimed to reveal the polymorphism frequencies of the PAI-1 gene 4G/5G and to investigate the role of this polymorphism in T2 DM and DN development.
