A panel of rhythm gene polymorphisms is involved in susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus and bipolar disorder

ABSTRACT:

Background

Biological rhythm is closely related to health. We aimed to identify the potential correlations of rhythm gene polymorphisms to type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) or bipolar disorder (BD), which both have many abnormal rhythmic activities, in a sample of Chinese Han origin.

Methods

A total of 136 patients with BD, 166 patients with DM, and 130 healthy controls were collected. We screened 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in rhythm genes CLOCK, ARNTL, PER2, PER3, CRY1, and CRY2 respectively. Snapshot typing technology was used for genotyping.

Results

Both the rs10832022-G and rs11022765-A allele frequencies of the ARNTL gene were significantly higher in patients with DM than in those with BD (corrected P=0.03, 0.004, respectively). The frequency of rs10832022-G, rs1022765-A, and rs11022762-T haplotypes, which was significantly lower in patients with BD than in controls (P=0.003, OR =0.579), was significantly higher in patients with DM than in those with BD (P=0.0002, OR =1.878). The rs2292910-CC genotypic frequency of the CRY2 gene was significantly higher in patients with BD than in controls (OR of regression =2.203, P=0.01), while the frequency of the AA genotype was significantly lower than in patients with DM (P=0.01). The frequency of rs1972874-G and rs36124720-G haplotype of the PER2 gene was significantly higher in patients with DM than in controls (P=0.01, OR =1.577).

Conclusions

Our study preliminarily suggested that both BD and type 2 DM could be considered as dysrhythmias with different rhythmic genetic backgrounds, which contribute to the early prediction of an individual’s susceptibility to different rhythm disorders and early intervention.

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:BackgroundA number of studies were carried out to assess the association of angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) I/D and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1-1) 4G/5G polymorphisms with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, there are a few studies in Iranian patients with T2DM. Here, we tested for an association of ACE I/D and PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphisms with T2DM risk.MethodsOne hundred-eighteen patients with T2DM and 125 healthy subjects were participates in this study. The ACE I/D (rs4340) and PAI-1 4G/5G (rs1799889) polymorphisms was genotyped by conventional and PCR-RFLP assays, receptively. The associations was evaluated by calculating the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI).ResultsThe genotype distribution of ACE I/D and PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphisms were not deviated from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in healthy controls. The ACE II, ID, and DD genotype frequencies were 18.6%, 48.3%, and 33.1% in the T2DM patients versus 24.0%, 45.6% and 30.4% in healthy subjects, respectively. The PAI-1 4G/4G, 4G/5G, and 5G/5G genotype frequencies were 16.9%, 51.7%, and 31.4% in cases versus 24.8%, 57.6% and 17.6% in controls, respectively. There is a significant distribution in genotype/allele of PAI-1 4G/4G between cases with T2DM and healthy control, but not for ACE I/D. Moreover, the 5G/5G genotype is significantly (OR = 2.139, CI 95% 1.171-3.907, p = 0.013) increased the risk of T2DM by two folds in the cases than healthy controls.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that PAI-1 4G/5G may be likelihood risk factor for the development of T2DM in the Iranian patients. The higher frequency of PAI-1 5G/5G genotype in patients with T2DM revealed that individuals with the 5G allele may be at higher risk of T2DM development than those with 4G. However, there was no significant association between ACE I/D polymorphism and T2DM in our population. Future rigorous, well-designed studies with larger sample should replicate this study to confirm our findings in Iranian T2DM patients.
