Project description:The Interleukin-6 (IL-6) genetic polymorphism is associated with bronchial asthma, a number of studies have been conducted to investigate the association between IL-6 gene -174G/C polymorphism and bronchial asthma risk. However, the results are inconclusive. This meta-analysis aims to investigate whether -174G/C polymorphism is a potential risk factor for bronchial asthma. We searched Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Wanfang Database from inception through December 1st, 2014. Meta-analysis was performed using the STATA 12.0. Overall, a significantly reduced risk for asthma was found in IL-6 -174 CC genotype (CC vs. GG: OR = 0. 51, 95% CI = 0.27-0.96, P = 0.038). Furthermore, analysis by ethnicity indicated that there was a markedly reduced risk for asthma in IL-6 -174 CC genotype in Caucasian (CC vs. GG: OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.27-0.96, P = 0.038). Analysis by age indicated that there was a significantly reduced risk for asthma in IL-6 -174 CC genotype in adults (CC vs. GG: OR = 0.47, 95% CI = 0.23-0.97, P = 0.042). In conclusion, the current meta-analysis indicates that IL-6 -174 CC genotype may be a protective factor against asthma in Caucasian and adults.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although the pathogenesis remains to be elucidated, a growing evidence has suggested a role of pro-inflammatory immune response. Increased serum concentrations of Interleukin 6 (IL-6) have been associated with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus as well as advanced forms of liver disease in chronic hepatitis C infection. AIM:To investigate the frequency of IL-6-174G/C (rs1800795) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in CHC patients and in healthy subjects of the same ethnicity. Associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus (dependent variable) and demographic, clinical, nutritional, virological and, IL-6 genotyping data were also investigated in CHC patients. METHODS:Two hundred and forty-five patients with CHC and 179 healthy control subjects (blood donors) were prospectively included. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was diagnosed according to the criteria of the American Diabetes Association. Clinical, biochemical, histological and radiological methods were used for the diagnosis of the liver disease. IL-6 polymorphism was evaluated by Taqman SNP genotyping assay. The data were analysed by logistic regression models. RESULTS:Type 2 diabetes mellitus, blood hypertension and liver cirrhosis were observed in 20.8% (51/245), 40.0% (98/245) and 38.4% (94/245) of the patients, respectively. The frequency of the studied IL-6 SNP did not differ between the CHC patients and controls (P = 0.81) and all alleles were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P = 0.38). In the multivariate analysis, type 2 diabetes mellitus was inversely associated with GC and CC genotypes of IL-6-174 (OR = 0.42; 95%CI = 0.22-0.78; P = 0.006) and positively associated with blood hypertension (OR = 5.56; 95%CI = 2.79-11.09; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION:This study was the first to show that GC and CC genotypes of IL-6-174 SNP are associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus. The identification of potential inflammatory mediators involved in the crosstalk between hepatitis C virus and the axis pancreas-liver remains important issues that deserve further investigations.

Project description:Recent animal studies have indicated that overexpression of the elongation of long-chain fatty acids family member 6 (Elovl6) gene can cause insulin resistance and ?-cell dysfunction. These are the major factors involved in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). To identify the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of ELOVL6 and T2DM pathogenesis, we conducted a case-control study of 610 Han Chinese individuals (328 newly diagnosed T2DM and 282 healthy subjects). Insulin resistance and islet first-phase secretion function were evaluated by assessment of insulin resistance in a homeostasis model (HOMA-IR) and an arginine stimulation test. Three SNPs of the ELOVL6 gene were genotyped with polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, with DNA sequencing used to confirm the results. Only genotypes TT and CT of the ELOVL6 SNP rs12504538 were detected in the samples. Genotype CC was not observed. The T2DM group had a higher frequency of the C allele and the CT genotype than the control group. Subjects with the CT genotype had higher HOMA-IR values than those with the TT genotype. In addition, no statistical significance was observed between the genotype and allele frequencies of the control and T2DM groups for SNPs rs17041272 and rs6824447. The study indicated that the ELOVL6 gene polymorphism rs12504538 is associated with an increased risk of T2DM, because it causes an increase in insulin resistance.

Project description:Background: Although numerous epidemiological studies have investigated the association between -174G/C(rs1800795) polymorphism in the interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene-stimulatory region and the risk of ischemic stroke (IS), they failed to reach a unified conclusion. The true relationship between -174G/C(rs1800795) polymorphism and IS remains controversial and unclear. Therefore, in this meta-analysis, we aimed to analyze more precisely the association between -174G/C(rs1800795) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of IL-6 gene and IS in a larger pooled population. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials until June 30, 2021. A fixed or random-effects model was utilized based on heterogeneity between studies. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (Cis) were calculated in the models of allele comparison (G vs. C), homozygote comparison (GG vs. CC) and (GC vs. CC), dominant (GG vs. GC + CC), hyper dominant (GG + CC vs. GC), and recessive (GG + GC vs. CC) to determine the strength of associations. Results: This meta-analysis included 13 case-control studies in 35 articles with 5,548 individuals. Overall, no significant associations between IL-6 -174G/C(rs1800795) and IS were identified (G vs. C:OR [95% CI] = 0.99 [0.81, 1.21], P = 0.91; GG + CC vs. GC:0.97 [0.85, 1.11], P = 0.66; GG vs. GC + CC: 1.01 [0.81, 1.25], P = 0.94; GC vs. CC: OR [95% CI] = 1.01 [0.68, 1.5], P = 0.96; GG vs. CC:0.93 [0.57, 1.51], P = 0.76; GG + GC vs. CC:0.97 [0.64, 1.47], P = 0.89). In the subgroup analyses by ethnicity or HWE P-value, there was a statistically significant association between IL-6 -174G/C(rs1800795) polymorphisms and IS in the alleles model; (G vs. C: LogOR [95% CI] = 0.14 [-0.16,.45], P = 0.00), homozygote model (GG vs. CC: LogOR [95% CI] = 0.18 [-0.58,.95], P = 0.00) and (GC vs. CC: LogOR [95% CI] = 0.2 [-0.46,.85], P = 0.00), dominant model (GG vs. GC + CC: OR [95% CI] = 0.02 [-0.72, 0.77], P = 0.00), and recessive model (GG + GC vs. CC: OR [95% CI]= -0.17 [-0.86,.52], P = 0.00) of the European population and in the dominant model (GG vs. GC + CC: OR [95% CI] = -0.13 [-0.51, 0.24]) of the Asian population. No statistical significance was identified in both six models of HWE p ≥ 0.2 group (both P ≥ 0.05). Conclusion: This meta-analysis revealed no correlation between IL-6 -174G/C(rs1800795) polymorphism and IS, whereas the subgroup analysis indicated that the relationship between IL-6 -174G/C(rs1800795) polymorphism and IS susceptibility varied significantly according to ethnicity and geography.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Obesity is a multi-factorial chronic disorder. A considerable number of studies have been performed to figure out whether there is an association between obesity and polymorphisms of gene IL-6 (174G/C), but the results are equivocal. AIM:This study aimed to find out whether the IL-6 (174G/C) gene was associated with the risk of developing obesity in Egyptian children. SUBJECTS AND METHODS:The study included 149 children and adolescents with age ranged between 9.5 - 18 years. Eighty-five of them were obese which BMIZ-score is > 2, and sixty-four children with BMIZ-score ≤ 2 served as control group. Serum level of IL-6 and genetic analysis for IL-6 (174G/C) gene polymorphism were done. RESULTS:Obese children had significantly higher serum levels of IL-6 as compared to those of control children (P = 0.003). A high percentage of IL-6 polymorphism GC was found in obese subjects (93.7%), while the control group had a higher percentage of IL-6 polymorphism GG (70.6 %). CONCLUSION:Our study showed that carriers of the C allele for the IL-6 (174G/C) polymorphism have higher BMI. As the G174C polymorphism is likely to affect IL-6 expression and its physiological regulation; consequently this polymorphism may affect adiposity.

Project description:Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of cancer progression. IL-6-174G>C polymorphism has shown several results in association studies. In this study, we evaluated the association the IL-6-174G>C polymorphism and overall survival (OS) of cancer using 17 eligible studies with 4,304 patients. Our meta-analysis indicated that IL-6-174G>C polymorphism is not associated with OS when assessed using 3 genotype comparison including GG/(GC+CC), CC/(GC+GG) and CC/GG. Interestingly, compared to GG carrier, patients with IL-6-174GC genotype showed a decreased hazard of poor OS (hazard ratio = 0.81, 95% confidence interval: 0.68-0.96, P = 0.018; I2 = 34.5%, Phet = 0.107). However, for GG/(GC+CC) genotype comparison, this SNP is affect patients' OS obviously in bladder cancer, ovarian and peritoneal cancer, neuroblastoma, gastric cancer and osteosarcoma, though pooled results showing negative association because adverse and protective effect on different type of cancer balance each other. These results suggest IL-6-174G>C polymorphism might play a role in modulating OS in different type of cancer and might contribute to individual treatment in the future.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies and meta-analyses indicate that the polymorphism of rs266729 in adiponectin gene increases the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, these study methods have not been able to identify the underlying genetic effect on the development of T2DM. A genetic model-free approach was conducted to determine the underlying genetic model of inheritance of T2DM because of rs266729 in adiponectin gene.We searched available studies on the association between the rs266729 in adiponectin gene and T2DM in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Based on the information extracted from the studies, generalized odds ratio value (GOR) was used to evaluate whether the rs266729 polymorphism was a risk factor for T2DM. The parameter λ was calculated to estimate the genetic model, which was defined as the quotient of natural logarithm odds ratio of GC to CC divided by the natural logarithm odds ratio of GG to CC. Finally, binary logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the genetic effect of rs266729 on T2DM.Data from 7 studies were included in this meta-analysis. The total number of subjects was 12,323, comprising 5,948 cases and 6,395 controls. Mean (standard deviation) age of cases was 59.50 (11.53), and that of the controls was 53.80 (11.65), whereas the proportion of male was 40.9 and 50.0%, respectively. GOR was 1.13 (1.02, 1.25) and λ was 0.47 (0.29, 0.64). The result of logistic regression indicated that the G allele influenced the development of T2DM in the additive model, whereas the genetic effect was 1.13 (1.06, 1.19). Sources of control populations were the cause of between-study heterogeneity; nonetheless, there was no publication bias among studies.The G allele of rs266729 in adiponectin gene increases the risk of T2DM through an additive genetic model with an effect of 1.13 (1.06, 1.19).

Project description:Background and Objectives: Nowadays, every tenth adult in the world suffers from diabetes mellitus (DM). Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common microvascular complication of type 2 DM (T2DM) and a leading cause of acquired blindness in middle-aged individuals in many countries. Previous studies have identified associations of several gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to microvascular complications of DM in various worldwide populations. In our study, we aimed to test the hypothesis of the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the VEGF (-2549I/D), RAGE (-429T/C and -374T/A), TCF7L2 (rs7903146), and ITGA2 (BglII) genes with a predisposition to DR among T2DM patients in the Kazakhstan population. Materials and Methods: We conducted a case-control study comparing the genotype distribution and allele frequencies between groups of DR patients (N = 94), diabetic patients without DR (N = 94), and healthy controls (N = 51). Genotypes were identified using the PCR-RFLP method. Results: In all cases, the genotype distribution corresponded to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The groups of diabetic patients with and without DR did not significantly differ in the genotype distribution of the SNPs studied. Differences between both groups of diabetic patients and healthy controls in four out of five SNPs were also not significant. At the same time, both groups of diabetic patients differed significantly from healthy controls in genotype distribution (p = 0.042 and 0.005, respectively) and allele frequencies (p = 0.021 and 0.002, respectively) of the BglII polymorphism in the ITGA2 gene. After adjusting for multiple comparisons, the differences between the group of diabetic patients without DR and the control group remained significant (pBonf = 0.027 for genotypes and pBonf = 0.009 for alleles). The BglII- allele was associated with diabetes: OR = 1.81 [1.09-2.99] for DR patients, and OR = 2.24 [1.34-3.75] for diabetic patients without DR. The association was also observed in the subset of Kazakhs. Conclusions: This study shows that the BglII polymorphism in the ITGA2 gene can be associated with T2DM but not with DR. According to our data, the risk allele for diabetes is the wild BglII- allele, and not the minor BglII+, which is considered as risky for DR.

Project description:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a microvascular complication that affects up to 40% of diabetic patients and can lead to end-stage kidney disease. Inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 1 (IL-1), IL-6, IL-18 and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF?) have been linked to the development and progression of DN. The aim of our study was to examine the relationship between interleukin-4 (IL4) -590C/T (rs2243250) gene polymorphism and DN in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study is a continuation of our previous research on the association between angiotensinogen (AGT) gene polymorphisms and DN in patients with T2DM. We included 651 unrelated Slovenian (Caucasian) patients who had had T2DM for at least 10 years. The participants were classified into a group of T2DM patients with DN (276 cases) and a group without DN (375 controls). IL4 rs2243250 polymorphism was analyzed using a TaqMan SNP genotyping assay and StepOne Real-Time PCR System. The frequencies of rs2243250 TT, CT and CC (wild type) genotypes were 3.2%, 29.4% and 67.4%, respectively in patients with DN, and 2.7%, 34.4% and 62.9%, respectively in controls. Our logistic regression analysis adjusted for gender, age, diabetes duration, and glycated hemoglobin showed no association between rs2243250 and the risk for DN (OR 1.06; CI 0.37-3.05; p = 0.9). IL4 rs2243250 is not associated with DN in our subset of Slovenian patients with T2DM.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetes is one of the common chronic diseases in which susceptibility is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, and more than 90% of diabetic patients are diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM). The existing studies on the association between CDKAL1 rs10946398 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes are inconsistent across populations.AimWe aim to explore the association between CDKAL1 rs10946398 gene polymorphism and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in different populations.MethodsWe examined all studies before June 12, 2021, that associated CDKAL1 rs10946398 with T2DM. Heterogeneity was assessed by meta-analysis of allelic inheritance models (A vs. C), dominant inheritance models (AA vs. AC+CC), and recessive inheritance model (AA+AC vs. CC); I 2 was used to assess the heterogeneity (if I 2 < 50%, the fixed-effects model was used; if I 2 ≥ 50%, the random-effects model was used for data consolidation); correlation was judged by a forest map; potential publication bias was tested by the Egger test (p > 0.05 indicates that there is no publication bias).ResultsFourteen data totaling 30288 subjects, including 19272 controls and 11016 patients with T2DM, met our inclusion criteria. In the Asian population, the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.01) for dominant genetic model (OR = 0.75, 95%CI = 0.64-0.88, p = 0.0003). But the allelic effect model (OR = 0.87, 95%CI = 0.75-1.02, p = 0.08) and the recessive genetic model (OR = 0.85, 95%CI = 0.66-1.10, p = 0.23) were not statistically significant (p > 0.01). In the non-Asian population, the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.01) for the allelic effect model (OR = 0.83, 95%CI = 0.77-0.88, p < 0.00001), the dominant model (OR = 0.79, 95%CI = 0.72-0.87, p < 0.00001), and the recessive model (OR = 0.78, 95%CI = 0.70-0.87, p < 0.0001).ConclusionIn this study, CDKAL1 RS10946398 was positively associated with T2DM, but the association was different in Asian populations.
