| Abstract | Background The effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism and endothelial Nitric Oxide synthase (eNOS) gene G894 → T on vascular disease in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients was rarely studied previously. We investigated such effect in a Chinese population. Methods A total of 153 ESRD patients with vascular disease (88 men and 65 women; mean age ± SD: 54.0 ± 13.2) were recruited. Polymerase chain reaction was used to classify the ACE genotypes as II, ID and DD and the eNOS genotypes as GG, GT, and TT. Analyses were performed in ESRD patients with vascular disease (n = 153) and the age-matched controls (n = 148). Results The frequencies of ACE DD and eNOS TT genotypes and ACE D and eNOS T alleles in ESRD patients with vascular disease were significantly higher than those in the controls (P < 0.05). There was a significant interaction between ACE I/D alleles and eNOS G894 → T polymorphism: adjusted odds ratio 2.128 (95%CI 1.022–4.434, P = 0.017). Conclusions These results indicated that the etiology of vascular disease in ESRD patients is associated with ACE and eNOS (G894 → T) gene polymorphisms. Our data also suggest that an interaction effect may exist between ACE (I/D) and eNOS (G894 → T) polymorphism in increasing the risk of vascular complications in ESRD patients |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
