by hypermethylation in DDAH2 promoter is positively correlated to the dysfunction of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in coronary artery disease patients
Susceptibility
  • to risk of developing myocardial infarction (MI)
  • to chronic kidney disease
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • rs805304 C allele was associated with decreased risk of MI and decreased risk of obesity
  • rs9267551 functional variant of the DDAH2 gene is associated with chronic kidney disease with carriers of the C allele having a lower risk of renal dysfunction independently from several confounders
