Introduction: Pancreas is a highly vascularized tissue which makes oxygen a fundamental element for its metabolism. As a consequence of the variations in its delivery, the expression of genes that maintain homeostatic levels of oxygen supply a regulated by hypoxia-inducible factor 1 α (HIF-1α). Here we tested the role of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of HIF-1α as markers for susceptibility or protection to develop pancreatic injury in Mexican patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
Methods: We studied 55 patients with T1DM that conformed to the criteria of the American Diabetes Association (ADA); in them, we extracted DNA from peripheral blood cells and studied the gene that encodes HIF-... view more»
