Tailoring Type II Diabetes Treatment: Investigating the Effect of 5-HTT Polymorphisms on HbA1c Levels after Metformin Initiation.


ABSTRACT:

Aims

To investigate the effect of serotonin transporter (5-HTT) polymorphisms on change in HbA1c levels six months after metformin initiation in type 2 diabetes patients.

Materials and methods

Participants of PROVALID (PROspective cohort study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for VALidation of biomarkers) within the GIANTT (Groningen Initiative to ANalyse Type 2 Diabetes Treatment) cohort who initiated metformin were genotyped for combined 5-HTTLPR/rs25531 (LL, LS, and SS) and 5-HTT VNTR (STin 2.12, 12/-, and 10/-) polymorphisms, respectively. Multiple linear regression was applied to determine the change in HbA1c level from baseline date to six months across 5-HTTLPR/VNTR genotype groups, adjusted for baseline HbA1c, age, gender, triglyceride level, low-density lipoprotein level, and serum creatinine.

Results

157 participants were included, of which 56.2% were male. The average age was 59.3 ± 9.23 years, and the mean baseline HbA1c was 7.49% ± 1.21%. 5-HTTLPR was characterized in 46 patients as LL, 70 patients as LS, and 41 patients as SS genotypes. No significant association was found between 5-HTTLPR and 5-HTT VNTR genotypes and change in HbA1c after adjustments.

Conclusions

5-HTT polymorphisms did not affect HbA1c levels six months after the start of metformin. Further long-term studies in large samples would be relevant to determine which polymorphisms can explain the variation in response to metformin treatment.
