OBJECTIVE - To evaluate the effect of RANTES gene promoter polymorphism and RANTES receptor (CCR5 gene) promoter polymorphism on diabetic nephropathy in Japanese type 2 diabetic subjects.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS - A total 616 Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes were recruited. Polymorphisms of -28 C/G and -403 G/A in the RANTES gene promoter region, and of 59029 G/A in the CCR5 gene promoter region were detected by PCR-RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism). The association of these genotypes with nephropathy was analyzed.RESULTS - While the RANTES -403 genotype showed no association with nephropathy, the frequency of the -28G allele was significantly higher in the DN2 group (urinary albuminuria-to-creatinine ratio [ACR] greater than or equal to300 mg/g creatinine, serum creatinine
