Background genetic factors may influence the variability in the rate of progression of kidney disease in type 1 diabetes. In diabetes, progressive mesangial matrix expansion and glomerular sclerosis are, to a large extent, mediated by TGF-beta1. Decorin, a proteoglycan which is a component of the extracellular matrix, regulates TGF-beta1 activity and expression. We have examined the relationship between the 179/183/185 polymorphism of the Decorin gene and the progression of diabetic nephropathy.
