Risk genotypes and haplotypes of the GLUT1 gene for type 2 diabetic nephropathy in the Tunisian population.
ANNALS OF HUMAN BIOLOGY(2008)
摘要
OBJECTIVE:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a long-term complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Genetic studies on DN have been of little help so far, since several genetic association studies have shown conflicting results. Here we report the findings of a case-control study on five SNPs in the glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) gene. The study investigated the association of five GLUT1 genotypes and haplotypes with DN.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:All subjects, 126 DN (cases) and 273 type 2 diabetes (controls), were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism.
RESULTS:The TT and the AA genotypes of the Haell and Enh2 SNP1, increased the risk of DN. The study also identified CGT as the highest risk haplotype (4.4-fold) followed by CAT with an increased risk of DN of 2.6-fold.
CONCLUSIONS:The GLUT1 gene confers susceptibility to DN in type 2 diabetes patients in the Tunisian population.
