Evidence of association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms in lipid metabolism-related genes and type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex chronic metabolic disorder triggered by insulin resistance in peripheral tissues. Evidence has shown that lipid metabolism and related genetic factors lead to insulin resistance. Hence, it is meaningful to investigate the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in lipid metabolism-related genes and T2DM. Methods: A total of 1,194 subjects with T2DM and 1,274 Non-diabetic subjects (NDM) were enrolled. Five SNPs in three genes (rs864745 in JAZF1, rs35767 in IGF1, and rs4376068, rs4402960, and rs6769511 in IGF2BP2) that contribute to insulin resistance involving lipid metabolism were genotyped using the MassArray method in a Chinese population. Results: The allele and genotype
