ABSTRACT: Background
Although adiponectin -11377CG gene polymorphism is implied to be associated with increased type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk, results of individual studies are inconsistent.Objective and methods
A meta-analysis consisting of 12 individual studies, including a total of 6425 participants, was carried out in order to investigate the association of adiponectin -11377CG gene polymorphism with T2DM. The pooled odds ratio (OR) and its corresponding confidence interval (CI) at 95% were assessed through the random- or fixed- effect model.Results
A significant relationship was observed between adiponectin -11377CG gene polymorphism and T2DM under allelic (OR: 1.150, 95% CI: 1.060 to 1.250, P = 0.001), recessive (OR: 1.450, 95% CI: 1.180-1.770, P = 0.0004), dominant (OR: 1.071, 95% CI: 1.013-1.131, P = 0.015), additive (OR: 1.280, 95% CI: 1.090-1.510, P = 0.002), and homozygous genetic models (OR: 1.620, 95% CI: 1.310-1.990, P<0.00001). No significant association was found between them under the heterozygous genetic model (OR: 1.640, 95% CI: 0.850-3.170, P = 0.140).Conclusions
Adiponectin -11377CG gene polymorphism was significantly associated with T2DM risk susceptibility. G allele carriers are predisposed to T2DM risk.
