Association of genetic polymorphism of PC-1 gene (rs1044498 Lys121Gln) with insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes mellitus in Punjabi Population of Pakistan.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Insulin resistance (IR), known to reduce the response to insulin action, develops with obesity leading to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The PC-1 gene has been associated with dyslipidemia, polycystic ovarian disease and T2DM in different regions of the world. The objective of the present study was to investigate the genetic association of PC-1 rs1044498 polymorphism with insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes in the Punjabi population of Pakistan. METHODS:This study was carried out on 161 healthy controls and 161 patients of T2DM with insulin resistance. Whole blood was collected for DNA extraction and molecular studies. PCR-RFLP with AvaII was performed to determine the genotype in cases and controls. Chi-square and Hardy Weinberg analyses were carried out. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS software. RESULTS:The demographic data of cases and controls showed significant differences for different parameters like glucose, insulin, Homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and lipid profiles (p < 0.000). Different statistical models revealed that all the dominant models were found associated in between alleles for disease risk (p < 0.001) while no association of PC-1 rs1044498 (K121Q) polymorphism was found with insulin-resistant parameters in T2DM cases. CONCLUSION:Overall, the results indicate that the K121Q polymorphism was not found associated with insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes in a Pakistani Punjabi population. This is the first-ever report about the genotype of PC-1 gene in this population.
