Association between sex hormone binding globulin gene polymorphism and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in an Uighur population. One hundred and fourteen T2DM male patients (with a history of diabetes or diagnosed as diabetic by the oral glucose tolerance test) and 173 healthy males from the Uighur ethnic group were included in the study to test the following SNPs of SHBG: rs727428, rs1799941, rs6259, rs6257, rs858521, rs858518, rs3760213, and rs11078701. The body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and waist circumference, and lipid, glucose, HbA1c, insulin, HOMA-IR, testosterone, and SHBG levels of enrolled individuals were measured. We used the t-test or rank sum test and Chi-square test to analyze the difference and compare numeration data, respectively, between the case and control groups. Comparisons among multiple groups were carried out using analysis of variance, and the correlation between variables was determined by nonparametric Spearman rank correlation analysis; multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk of abnormal glucose in the two groups. There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) in BMI, blood pressure, and waist circumference, and lipid, glucose, HbA1c, insulin, and HOMA-IR levels between the case and control groups. The risk factors for diabetes included testosterone (P = 0.042) and SHBG (P = 0.001). The distribution of rs858521 (P = 0.001), rs1799941 (2.3%, P = 0.032), rs6259 (2.5%, P = 0.040), and rs727428 (3.4%, P = 0.016) was significantly different between the case and control groups (P < 0.05). In the control group, there was linkage disequilibrium (LD) between rs727428 and rs6259, while in the case group LD was found among rs858518, rs3760213, rs1799941, and rs6257. The frequency of rs858518-rs3760213-rs1799941-rs6257 haplotype TCGC was significantly different between the two groups (P = 0.033). Both testosterone and SHBGwere found to be risk factors of diabetes in the Uighur population, and SNPs of SHBG may contribute to T2DM.

Project description:BackgroundCirculating sex hormone-binding globulin levels are inversely associated with insulin resistance, but whether these levels can predict the risk of developing type 2 diabetes is uncertain.MethodsWe performed a nested case-control study of postmenopausal women in the Women's Health Study who were not using hormone therapy (359 with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and 359 controls). Plasma levels of sex hormone-binding globulin were measured; two polymorphisms of the gene encoding sex hormone-binding globulin, SHBG, that were robustly associated with the protein levels were genotyped and applied in mendelian randomization analyses. We then conducted a replication study in an independent cohort of men from the Physicians' Health Study II (170 with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and 170 controls).ResultsAmong women, higher plasma levels of sex hormone-binding globulin were prospectively associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes: multivariable odds ratios were 1.00 for the first (lowest) quartile of plasma levels, 0.16 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.08 to 0.33) for the second quartile, 0.04 (95% CI, 0.01 to 0.12) for the third quartile, and 0.09 (95% CI, 0.03 to 0.21) for the fourth (highest) quartile (P<0.001 for trend). These prospective associations were replicated among men (odds ratio for the highest quartile of plasma levels vs. the lowest quartile, 0.10; 95% CI, 0.03 to 0.36; P<0.001 for trend). As compared with homozygotes of the respective wild-type allele, carriers of a variant allele of the SHBG single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs6259 had 10% higher sex hormone-binding globulin levels (P=0.005), and carriers of an rs6257 variant had 10% lower plasma levels (P=0.004); variants of both SNPs were also associated with a risk of type 2 diabetes in directions corresponding to their associated sex hormone-binding globulin levels. In mendelian randomization analyses, the predicted odds ratio of type 2 diabetes per standard-deviation increase in the plasma level of sex hormone-binding globulin was 0.28 (95% CI, 0.13 to 0.58) among women and 0.29 (95% CI, 0.15 to 0.58) among men, a finding that suggests that sex hormone-binding globulin may have a causal role in the risk of type 2 diabetes.ConclusionsLow circulating levels of sex hormone-binding globulin are a strong predictor of the risk of type 2 diabetes in women and men. The clinical usefulness of both SHBG genotypes and plasma levels in stratification and intervention for the risk of type 2 diabetes warrants further examination.
