Association Analysis of Genetic Variants with Type 2 Diabetes in a Mongolian Population in China.

ABSTRACT: The large scale genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified approximately 80 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) conferring susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, most of these loci have not been replicated in diverse populations and much genetic heterogeneity has been observed across ethnic groups. We tested 28 SNPs previously found to be associated with T2D by GWAS in a Mongolian sample of Northern China (497 diagnosed with T2D and 469 controls) for association with T2D and diabetes related quantitative traits. We replicated T2D association of 11 SNPs, namely, rs7578326 (IRS1), rs1531343 (HMGA2), rs8042680 (PRC1), rs7578597 (THADA), rs1333051 (CDKN2), rs6723108 (TMEM163), rs163182 and rs2237897 (KCNQ1), rs1387153 (MTNR1B), rs243021 (BCL11A), and rs10229583 (PAX4) in our sample. Further, we showed that risk allele of the strongest T2D associated SNP in our sample, rs757832 (IRS1), is associated with increased level of TG. We observed substantial difference of T2D risk allele frequency between the Mongolian sample and the 1000G Caucasian sample for a few SNPs, including rs6723108 (TMEM163) whose risk allele reaches near fixation in the Mongolian sample. Further study of genetic architecture of these variants in susceptibility of T2D is needed to understand the role of these variants in heterogeneous 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.
