Males accounted for 34.9% of the study population. Analysis of A1298C polymorphism revealed genotype distributions of AA, AC, and CC genotypes as 51.6%, 41.1%, and 7.3%, respectively. A significant association was observed between A1298C polymorphism and elevated homocysteine levels, with CC genotype exhibiting a higher prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia (28.6%) than AA (6.1%) and AC (22.8%) genotypes. Patients carrying AC+CC genotypes had a 2.40-fold higher risk of developing proteinuria (95% confidence interval: 1.30\u20134.41, p\u2009&lt;\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">\u2009<\/jats:italic>\n                      0.05) than those with AA genotype.
