Association Between KCNQ1 Genetic Variants and Type 2 Diabetes in the Uyghur Population.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the association between KCNQ1 gene polymorphisms and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in an admixed ethnic minority, Uyghur population, living in the Northwest region of China.We genotyped three tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs2283171, rs11023485, and rs2283208 of the KCNQ1 gene in 1006 T2D participants and 1004 controls and conducted association analysis.The frequencies of the AG and GG genotypes and the G allele of rs2283171 were higher in the control group (51.4%, 22%, and 47.7%, respectively) than in the case group (49%, 17.6%, and 42.1%, respectively). The minor G allele decreased the risk of T2D with a per-allele odds ratio of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.70-0.90) for the additive genetic model in univariate analysis (p?=?0.0001). After adjustment for the covariates of age, gender, smoking, alcohol use, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), body mass index (BMI), triglyceride (TG), and total cholesterol (TC), the diabetic protective effect of the rs2283171-G allele remained. No difference was observed in the frequency distributions of the rs11023485 and rs2283208 genotypes between the two groups.We identified a novel association between rs2283171 of KCNQ1 and T2D in the Uyghur population. Further association and functional studies are required to identify the causal functional variant that is in linkage disequilibrium with this polymorphism.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies have successfully identified over 70 loci associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in multiple populations of European ancestry. However, the risk attributable to an individual variant is modest and does not yet provide convincing evidence for clinical utility. Association between these established genetic variants and T2DM in general populations is hitherto understudied in the isolated populations, such as the Uyghurs, resident in Hetian, far southern Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. In this case-control study, we genotyped 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 10 genes associated with diabetes in 130 cases with T2DM and 135 healthy controls of Uyghur, a Chinese minority ethnic group. Three of the 13 SNPs demonstrated significant association with T2DM in the Uyghur population. There were significant differences between the T2DM patients and controls in the risk allele distributions of rs3792267 (CAPN10) (P = 0.002), rs1501299 (APM1) (P = 0.017), and rs3760776 (FUT6) (P = 0.031). Allelic carriers of rs3792267-A, rs1501299-T, and rs3760776-T had a 2.24-fold [OR (95% CI): 1.35-3.71], 0.59-fold [OR (95% CI): 0.39-0.91], 0.57-fold [OR (95% CI): 0.34-0.95] increased risk for T2DM respectively. We further confirmed that the cumulative risk allelic scores calculated from the 13 susceptibility loci for T2DM differed significantly between the T2DM patients and controls (P = 0.001), and the effect of obesity/overweight on T2DM was only observed in the subjects with a combined risk allelic score under a value of 17. This study observed that the SNPs rs3792267 in CAPN10, rs1501299 in APM1, and rs3760776 in FUT6 might serve as potential susceptible biomarkers for T2DM in Uyghurs. The cumulative risk allelic scores of multiple loci with modest individual effects are also significant risk factors in Uyghurs for T2DM, particularly among non-obese individuals. This is the first investigation having observed/found genetic variations on genetic loci functionally linked with glycosylation associated with the risk of T2DM in a Uyghur population.

Project description:Studies have showed a number of susceptibility genes variants such as transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2), potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1 (KCNQ1), juxtaposed with another zinc finger protein 1 (JAZF1) and HNF1 homeobox B (HNF1B) been strongly associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in various ethnic groups. However, few studies have conducted in Uyghur, a Chinese minority ethnic group as an admixture population of Caucasians and East Asians. This study was performed to evaluate the association of genetic polymorphism with T2D susceptibility in the Uyghur population. The genomic samples from the blood of unrelated 284 T2D patients and 258 healthy controls were genotyped and analyzed using denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) assay. We found that four SNPs (rs290487, rs864745, rs4430796 and rs23136) in TCF7L2, JAZF1, HNF1B and KCNQ1 genetic regions show unique association with T2D in Uyghur population with an OR of 6.67295% (CI 1.06-1.48, P=0.002), an OR of 0.302 (CI 1.21-1.53, P=0.005) and an OR of 0.223 (CI 0.98-1.17, P=0.001), respectively. Subjects with mutant CC genotype of rs290487 were at high increased risk of T2D in Uyghur especially for the male subjects with an OR=11.782 (CI 1.12-1.53, P=0.001). Further metabolic evaluation confirmed that subject with rs290487 genotype have higher waste-hip circumference ratio (P<0.05), diastolic blood pressure (P<0.05), fasting blood glucose (P<0.05) and hemoglobin A1c levels (P<0.05). While mutant AA genotype for rs23136 (OR=0.223, CI 1.03-1.44, P=0.002) respectively were a protective factor in the Uyghur population. The rs231362 have also found been associated with fasting blood glucose and high-density lipoprotein respectively (P<0.05). However, none of the genotypes showed the significant association with T2D in local Han Chinese population. Taken together, we confirmed the rs290487, rs231362 and rs4430796 transcription variants may act as genetic risk factors for the development of T2D in the Uyghur population in China and these results might provide supporting evidences for T2D diagnosis for Uyghur people in the future.
