Patients with DN were surveyed epidemiologically with constitution in the Chinese medicine questionnaire （CCMQ）.Binary logistic regression analysis was utilized to study the correlation between nine types of Chinese medicine constitution and TGF-β1（T869C） gene polymorphisms.Results：The DN group has a higher frequency of TGF-β1（T869C） gene polymorphism than the T2DM group,and CC/CT genotypes than the T2DM group[CC,CT,TT（DN group）：88,87,5（cases） versus（T2DM group） 71,73,36（cases）,P0.05].The phlegm-dampness constitution,damp-heat constitution,and blood stasis constitution have correlations with TGF-β1 （T869C） gene polymorphism.Conclusion：Chinese medicine constitutions were associated with TGF-β1（T869C） gene polymorphism,a potential predictor of susceptibility to DN in T2DM patients.展开更多
