The association of genetic variants of type 2 diabetes with kidney function.

ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes is highly prevalent and is the major cause of progressive chronic kidney disease in American Indians. Genome-wide association studies identified several loci associated with diabetes but their impact on susceptibility to diabetic complications is unknown. We studied the association of 18 type 2 diabetes genome-wide association single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; MDRD equation) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio in 6958 Strong Heart Study family and cohort participants. Center-specific residuals of eGFR and log urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, obtained from linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index, were regressed onto SNP dosage using variance component models in family data and linear regression in unrelated individuals. Estimates were then combined across centers. Four diabetic loci were associated with eGFR and one locus with urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. A SNP in the WFS1 gene (rs10010131) was associated with higher eGFR in younger individuals and with increased albuminuria. SNPs in the FTO, KCNJ11, and TCF7L2 genes were associated with lower eGFR, but not albuminuria, and were not significant in prospective analyses. Our findings suggest a shared genetic risk for type 2 diabetes and its kidney complications, and a potential role for WFS1 in early-onset diabetic nephropathy in American Indian populations.

Project description:SIRT1 has been demonstrated in nutrient-sensing and insulin-signaling pathways in in vivo and in vitro experiments, but there is minimal information concerning the association between gene polymorphisms of SIRT1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a Chinese Han population. Using case-control design, we recruited 310 unrelated T2DM patients from inpatients at Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital, while 301 healthy controls were volunteers from the community for regular medical checkup. All participants were genotyped within the SIRT1 region. The following five SNPs rs10509291, rs12778366, rs10997870, rs10823112, and rs4746720 cover 100% of common genetic variations (minor allele frequency≥0.05) within the SIRT1 gene (r2≥0.8). The genotypes of SIRT1 gene polymorphisms were analyzed by the Snapshot assay and DNA sequencing. The resulting data show that there was significant genetic differentiation in rs10823112 [p=0.003; OR (95% CI)=1.515 (1.152-1.994) for genotype], rs4746720 [p=0.024; OR (95% CI)=1.37 (1.037-1.674) for genotype], and rs10509291 [p=0.002; OR (95% CI)=1.551 (1.179-2.04) for genotype] between T2DM and control subjects. However, the result of rs4746720 was no longer significant after correction for multiple testing (p after Bonferroni correction=0.12); the results of rs10509291and rs10823112 were still significantly different between the two groups (p after Bonferroni correction=0.01 and 0.015, respectively). Linear regression analyses adjusting for age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) showed that HbA1c and HOMA-IR in subjects with rs10509291 AA genotype were higher than those with TT genotype in T2DM group (p=0.045, p=0.035, respectively). Together, our data show that genetic variation of the SIRT1 gene is related to insulin resistance and increase risk of T2DM in Chinese Han population. The risk allele A at SIRT1 rs10509291 was closely associated with T2DM, and subjects who were homozygous of the A allele were more likely to develop T2DM.

Project description:BackgroundType 2 diabetes (T2D) is a prevalent chronic disease associated with several comorbidities.ObjectivesThis study investigated whether the risk of T2D varied with genetically predicted insulin (INS), insulin receptor (INS-R), or insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) using genetic variants in a Mendelian randomization (MR) study.MethodsA 2-sample MR study was conducted using summary statistics from 2 genome-wide association studies (GWASs). Genetic predictors of the exposures (INS, INS-R, and IGF-1R) were obtained from a publicly available proteomics GWAS of the INTERVAL randomized controlled trial of blood donation in the United Kingdom. For T2D, the study leveraged the DIAbetes Meta-ANalysis of Trans-Ethnic association studies (DIAMANTE) consortium. The estimated associations of INS, INS-R, and IGF-1R proteins with T2D were based on independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) strongly (P < 5 × 10-6) predicting each exposure. These SNPs were applied to publicly available genetic associations with T2D from the DIAMANTE case (n = 74,124) and control (n = 824,006) study of people of European descent. SNP-specific Wald estimates were meta-analyzed using inverse variance weighting with multiplicative random effects. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using the weighted median (WM) and MR-Egger.ResultsINS-R (based on 13 SNPs) was associated with a lower risk of T2D (OR: 0.95 per effect size; 95% CI: 0.92, 0.98; P = 0.001), with similar estimates from the WM and MR-Egger. Insulin (8 SNPs) and IGF-1R (10 SNPs) were not associated with T2D. However, 1 of the SNPs for INS-R was from the ABO blood group gene.ConclusionsThis study is consistent with a causally protective association of the INS-R with T2D. INS-R in RBCs regulates glycolysis and thus may affect their functionality and integrity. However, a pleiotropic effect via the blood group ABO gene cannot be excluded. The INS-R may be a target for intervention by repurposing existing therapeutics or otherwise to reduce the risk of T2D.
