Table 3. Haplotypes of the UCP2 polymorphisms in T1DM patients with and without DKD.
| Haplotypes | T1DM controls (n = 418) | DKD cases (n = 300) | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ht 1 (-866G/Del) | 0.518 | 0.540 | |
| Ht 2 (-866A/Del) | 0.171 | 0.173 | 0.892 |
| Ht 3 (-866G/Ins) | 0.069 | 0.060 | |
| Ht 4 (-866A/Ins) | 0.242 | 0.227 |
Data are presented as proportion. n = number of chromosomes. DKD: diabetic kidney disease; T1DM: type 1 diabetes mellitus. The first letter of the haplotypes refers to the -866G/A polymorphism and the second to the Ins/Del polymorphism. P-values for the comparisons of haplotype frequencies between patients with or with DKD were calculated using permutations tests.
