Abstract

Kallikreins are serine proteases that release kinins from kininogens. Kinins, via their effects on cardiovascular and renal function, may be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension and renal failure. Two groups of kallikreins exist, glandular or tissue kallikrein and plasma kallikrein. In this study, we examined the human plasma kallikrein gene KLK3 to determine whether it contributed to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) susceptibility. We identified two novel polymorphic sequences closely linked to the KLK3 gene, designated KLK3b and KLK3c (heterozygosities: 0.64 to 0.68 and 0.48 to 0.52, respectively). We mapped the KLK3 gene and the marker KLK3c to the long arm of human chromosome 4 between F11 and D4S426 using a radiation hybrid panel. The study population consisted of 142 sibling pairs concordant for ESRD from 121 African American families. The 142 sibling pairs were stratified into 78 pairs with hypertension- and chronic glomerulonephritis-associated ESRD and 64 with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus-associated ESRD. Linkage analyses, using SIBPAL of SAGE, and exclusion analysis, using MAPMAKERS/SIBS, were performed. Linkage analysis of affected sibling pairs did not reveal any evidence of linkage of KLK3 to ESRD ...Continue Reading
