Vitamin D Receptor gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes: evidence from a meta-regression and meta-analysis based on 47 studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence from various studies suggest that vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D); However, these results have been disputable. Here we conducted a meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the effect of VDR gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to T2D.

Methods

All relevant studies reporting the association between VDR gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to T2D published up to August 2020 were identified by comprehensive systematic database search in web of science, Scopus, and Medline. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to measure strength of association. The methodological quality of each study was assessed according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Subgroup and meta-regression analysis were also performed.

Results

A total of 47 case-control studies were included in this meta-analysis. The overall population results revealed a significant association between FokI, and BsmI (heterozygote model) polymorphisms and T2D in the overall analysis. However, no association was found with the TaqI and ApaI polymorphisms. Moreover, the pooled results of subgroup analysis by ethnicity suggested significant association between FokI, TaqI, and BsmI polymorphisms and T2D in some subgroups. Meta-regression analyses indicated that none of the publication year, ethnicity, and genotyping method were the source of heterogenicity in all four polymorphisms.

Conclusions

This meta-analysis suggested a significant association between VDR gene FokI, and BsmI (heterozygote model) polymorphisms and T2D susceptibility in overall population and ethnic-specific analysis.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in Kuwait is amongst the highest in the world. Vitamin D is considered to be involved in immune modulation and its deficiency contribute to autoimmune destruction of insulin producing beta cells in T1DM patients. Vitamin D has been shown to exert its effects via a nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) and therefore, VDR gene may be considered a candidate for T1DM susceptibility. METHODS:The genotypes of four VDR gene polymorphisms were determined in 253 Kuwaiti Arab T1DM patients and 214 healthy controls by PCR-RFLP analysis. Serum concentrations of three autoantibodies i.e. ICA (Islet cell autoantibody), GADA (Glutamic acid decarboxylase) and INS (Insulin autoantibody) were determined by radio-immunoassays. RESULTS:Statistically significant differences were detected between the genotypes of two VDR gene polymorphisms (FokI, C?>?T, rs10735810 and TaqI, C?>?T, rs731236) between T1DM patients and controls (P?<?0.0001). In both, the frequency of variant alleles was considerably high in T1DM than in the controls. In contrast, the VDR gene ApaI (G?>?T, rs7975232) and BsmI (A?>?G, rs1544410) polymorphisms did not show association with T1DM. The homozygous variant genotypes of FokI, ApaI and TaqI polymorphisms show significant differences between various age-of-onset subgroups while no such association was detected in the case of BsmI polymorphism. Significant differences were also noted between heterozygous genotypes of all four polymorphisms especially between 4-6y and?>?6y age-of-onset subgroups of T1DM patients. Three autoantibodies, ICA (Islet cell), GADA (glutamate decarboxylase) and INS (insulin) were positively associated to, varying degrees, with T1DM in Kuwaiti Arabs harboring different VDR gene polymorphism genotypes. CONCLUSIONS:Our results demonstrate a significant effect of two VDR gene polymorphisms (FokI and TaqI) and three autoantibodies on genetic susceptibility of T1DM in Kuwaiti Arabs along with other factors.

Project description:BackgroundGrowing body of evidence suggest the association between SNP - 11377 C > G and SNP + 276 G > T polymorphisms of adiponectin gene with type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, these findings have not been conclusive and consistent. The present study quantitatively evaluates the data on the association between DIPOQ - 11377C/G, and + 276G/T polymorphisms and risk of T2D through a meta-analysis.MethodsA systematic search was performed in the PubMed, Web of science, Scopus and Cochrane library databases to extract published studies according to the inclusion criteria. Among the 741 studies, 391 of them were screened as full text and 31 studies were finally included in the meta-analysis. Analysis of data was performed using random-effects model. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to analyze the strength of association. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were performed to identify the potential source of heterogeneity.ResultsThe pooled analysis showed that there was no statistically significant association between genotypes of CC (OR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.53-1.09, P = 0.14), CG (OR = 0.93, 95% CI: 0.72-1.20, P = 0.58) and GG (OR = 1, 95% CI: 0.80-1.26, P = 0.94) ADIPO - 11377 polymorphism with increased risk of T2D. In addition, the results revealed a trend toward an increased risk of T2D for the SNP + 276 TT genotype (OR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.77-0.98, P = 0.026) as compared with the GT and GG genotypes. Subgroup analysis by ethnicity indicated significant association between the TT genotype of the SNP + 276 and increased risk of T2D among Europeans. Met-regression demonstrated significant association between the GT genotype of + 276 polymorphism with risk of T2D in male individuals (slope: 0.0006; 95% CI: 0.0002-0.0009; P < 0.001).ConclusionsCollectively, our findings demonstrated a positive association between ADIPOQ + 276 G > T polymorphism with increased risk of T2D in male individuals with European ethnicity.
