Abstract
Elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 may contribute to vascular disease in diabetes mellitus. Pima Indians have a low incidence of cardiovascular disease despite having a high prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) which in this population is not associated with elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 activity. In Caucasians an insertion/deletion (4G/5G) polymorphism in the promoter region of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 gene that has been related to activity levels of its protein in plasma differentially binds repressor and enhancer elements. In 265 Pima Indians (133 diabetic, 132 non-diabetic, 129 male, 136 female, male, mean age 46.6, range 34-68 years) the promoter genotype frequencies were 23.0% for 4G/4G, 49.8% for 4G/5G and 27.2% for 5G/5G compared to 35.4%, 50.8% and 13.8% respectively, (chi 2 = 15.3, 2 df, p < 0.0005) previously reported in Caucasians with NIDDM. The mean plasma activity levels in the three genotypes in the Pima Indians were 18.2, 19.1 and 18.1 U/ml, respectively. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 activities correlated with plasma insulin (r = 0.38, p < 0.0001), body mass index (r = 0.24, p < 0.0001), and with triglyceride level (r = 0.12, p = 0.054) but there w...Continue Reading
