The IL-12p40 locus has recently been shown to be associated with type 1 diabetes (1). Here, we report the identification of novel microsatellite and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the IL-12p40 gene and a significant association between a (ATT)n repeat marker and type 1 diabetes in 364 U.S. Caucasian sib-pair families (P < 0.006). Haplotype analysis using the (ATT)n repeat (D5S2941) and the C1159A SNP at the 3' untranslated region of IL-12p40 showed a significant association (P = 0.02). Expression studies in individuals heterozygous for the C1159A SNP indicated that the expression of the 1159A allele is approximately 50% higher than that of the 1159C allele. These results provide genetic and functional evidence for IL-12p40 as a type 1 diabetes susceptibility gene. 相似文献

Adiponectin is an abundant adipose tissue-derived protein with important metabolic effects. Plasma adiponectin levels are decreased in obese individuals, and low adiponectin levels predict insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Two variants in the adiponectin gene ACDC have been previously associated with plasma adiponectin levels, obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes. To determine the role of genetic variation in ACDC in susceptibility to obesity and type 2 diabetes in Pima Indians, we screened the promoter, exons, and exon-intron boundaries of the gene to identify allelic variants. We identified 17 informative polymorphisms that comprised four common (minor allele frequency >15%) linkage disequilibrium clusters consisting of 1-4 variants each. We genotyped one representative polymorphism from each cluster in 1,338 individuals and assessed genotypic association with type 2 diabetes, BMI, serum lipid levels, serum adiponectin levels, and measures of insulin sensitivity and secretion. None of the ACDC variants were associated with type 2 diabetes, BMI, or measures of insulin sensitivity or secretion. One variant, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-12823, was associated with serum adiponectin levels (P = 0.002), but this association explained only 2% of the variance of serum adiponectin levels. Our findings suggest that these common ACDC polymorphisms do not play a major role in susceptibility to obesity or type 2 diabetes in this population. 相似文献

Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase is a key signaling molecule in insulin-stimulated glucose transport. Therefore, we investigated the catalytic subunit p110beta, of human PI 3-kinase as a candidate gene for type 2 diabetes. Human p110beta gene was cloned from the placental genomic library. All 22 exons, intronic regions flanking the exons and 1.5 kb of the proximal/5' region of the p110beta gene, were screened for variants by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis in 79 Finnish patients with type 2 diabetes . Allele frequencies of the variants were also determined in 77 nondiabetic control subjects. No variants were found in exons in diabetic patients. However, we identified two nucleotide polymorphisms in the proximal/5' region of the p110beta gene and a variation in the number of 2-bp repeat sequence (TA)n in intron 4. The allele frequencies did not differ between diabetic and control subjects. Our results may indicate that the catalytic subunit p110beta of PI 3-kinase plays such a fundamental role in the insulin-signaling pathway that structural variants are not likely to exist in that gene. The importance of the polymorphisms in the proximal/5' region of the p110beta gene for insulin signaling remains to be determined. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Podocin, encoded by NPHS2 and mapped to 1q25.2, is an integral membrane protein exclusively expressed in glomerular podocytes. Mutations in the NPHS2 gene cause autosomal-recessive nephrotic syndrome and have been associated with proteinuria in several populations. Evidence for linkage of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) to chromosome 1q25-31 in the region of NPHS2 has been identified in a genome-wide scan in African American (AA) siblings. METHODS: To investigate the potential role of this gene in ESRD, we sequenced all coding regions and approximately 2 kb of upstream promoter sequence of NPHS2 in 96 unrelated AA nondiabetic ESRD cases and 96 healthy population-based AA controls, and assessed several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for association in a larger case-control sample. RESULTS: Fifty-five variants were identified with minor allele frequencies ranging from <1% to 44%. Twenty-three polymorphisms were located in the promoter region, 11 were exonic, 13 were intronic, and 8 were in the 5' and 3'- untranslated regions. Two novel nonsynonymous coding SNPs were identified (A44E and A61V). An insertion polymorphism in intron 3, IVS3+9insA, was detected in 6 ESRD patients and in no controls. This variant, and 4 other common SNPs, were evaluated in a larger sample of 288 AA ESRD cases and 278 AA controls. The overall minor allele frequencies for the insertion allele were 0.018 in cases and 0.002 in controls. Significant evidence of association of IVS3+9insA was observed (P= 0.012), and the haplotype containing the insertion allele in cases was also associated. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that uncommon variants of the NPHS2 gene may play a role in the development of nondiabetic ESRD in AAs. 相似文献

Here we show that a common polymorphism causing a valine to methionine amino acid substitution at codon 418 (V418M) in the CLCN7 gene is associated with femoral neck BMD in women. Our study adds to accumulating evidence that shows that common allelic variants in monogenic bone disease genes often contribute to BMD regulation in normal subjects. INTRODUCTION: The CLCN7 gene is a strong candidate for regulation of BMD, because mutations in CLCN7 cause some forms of osteopetrosis, a disease characterized by impaired osteoclast function and increased BMD. In this study, we sought to determine whether common allelic variation within CLCN7 was associated with BMD in the normal population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted mutation screening of the exons and intron-exon boundaries in CLCN7 by DNA sequencing in 50 normal subjects. We conducted an association study between common polymorphisms in CLCN7 and haplotypes defined by these polymorphisms and BMD values at the lumbar spine and femoral neck in a population-based cohort study of 1077 Scottish women 45-55 years of age. RESULTS: We identified 24 polymorphisms, but most were rare and only 4 had allele frequencies of >5%. These were a conservative single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in exon 1 (rs3751884), a 50-bp tandem repeat polymorphism within intron 8, and two SNPs within exon 15 (rs12926089 and rs12926669), of which one (rs12926669) predicts an amino acid change from valine to methionine at codon 418 (V418M). The exon 15 SNPs were in strong linkage disequilibrium and were both associated with femoral neck BMD (p = 0.001-0.003). None of the other polymorphisms were associated with BMD, and long-range haplotypes showed a much weaker association with BMD than the exon 15 SNPs. The V418M polymorphism was an independent predictor of femoral neck BMD on multiple regression analysis accounting for 1% of the variance in BMD at this site. CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates that the V418M polymorphism of CLCN7 contributes to the genetic regulation of femoral neck BMD in women and adds to accumulating evidence that indicates that subtle polymorphic variation in genes that cause monogenic bone diseases also contribute to regulation of BMD in normal subjects. 相似文献

Common polymorphisms in the promoter of the visfatin gene (PBEF1) influence plasma insulin levels in a French-Canadian population 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17

The adipokine visfatin (PBEF1) exhibits insulin-mimetic effects and correlates strongly with visceral adiposity. We sequenced visfatin gene exons and 1,480 bp of the promoter in 23 individuals, including 18 individuals from the Quebec Family Study (QFS) with varying degrees of abdominal visceral fat, assessed by computed tomography, and 5 individuals from the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Québec. We identified a synonymous polymorphism in exon 7 (SER301SER) but no nonsynonymous mutations. We observed an additional 10 polymorphisms, including 5 intronic, 4 within the promoter, and 1 within the 3' untranslated region. Further promoter sequencing (816 bp) identified five additional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the QFS population. To investigate the role of visfatin gene variants in obesity-related phenotypes, we genotyped a total of 13 SNPs in the promoter region of the gene. From these, we analyzed the seven common SNPs in the QFS sample (918 participants from 208 families). A significant association was found between two SNPs (rs9770242 and rs1319501), in perfect linkage disequilibrium, and fasting insulin levels (P = 0.002). These SNPs were also associated with fasting glucose (P 相似文献

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) acts as a fuel gauge for glucose and lipid metabolism. The gene encoding the alpha2 isoform of the catalytic subunit of AMPK (PRKAA2) is located at one of the Japanese type 2 diabetes loci mapped by our previous genome scan (1p36-32). PRKAA2 is, therefore, a good candidate gene for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. We screened all nine exons, their exon-intron boundaries, and the 5' and 3' flanking regions of PRKAA2 to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and we genotyped 192 type 2 diabetic patients and 272 nondiabetic subjects to assess possible associations between genotypes or haplotypes and type 2 diabetes. None of the 10 SNPs genotyped was associated with type 2 diabetes, but the haplotype analysis, consisting of six representative SNPs, revealed one haplotype, with the A (minor) allele for rs2051040 and a major allele for the other five SNPs, to be associated with type 2 diabetes (P = 0.009). This finding was confirmed in two larger replication samples (657 case and 360 control subjects, P = 0.021; and 356 case and 192 control subjects from the same area in Japan, P = 0.007) and a significant P value was obtained in the joint haplotype analysis of all samples (1,205 case and 824 control subjects, P = 0.0001). Furthermore, insulin resistance was associated with rs2051040 in nondiabetic subjects, and those with the A (minor) allele had a higher homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index than those who did not (initial control subjects [n = 272], P = 0.002; and joint replication control subjects [n = 552], P = 0.037). We speculate that the PRKAA2 gene influences insulin resistance and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population. 相似文献

Genome-wide scans in multiple populations have identified chromosome 1q21-q24 as one susceptibility region for type 2 diabetes. To map the susceptibility genes, we first placed a dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) map across the linked region. We identified two SNPs that showed strong associations, and both mapped to within intron 2 of the calsequestrin 1 (CASQ1) gene. We tested the hypothesis that sequence variation in or near CASQ1 contributed to type 2 diabetes susceptibility in Northern European Caucasians by identifying additional SNPs from the public database and by screening the CASQ1 gene for additional variation. In addition to 15 known SNPs in this region, we found 8 new SNPs, 3 of which were in exons. A single rare nonsynonymous SNP in exon 11 (A348V) was not associated with type 2 diabetes. The associated SNPs were localized to the region between -1,404 in the 5' flanking region and 2,949 in intron 2 (P = 0.002 to P = 0.034). No SNP 3' to intron 2, including the adjacent gene PEA15, showed an association. The strongest associations were restricted to individuals of Northern European ancestry ascertained in Utah. A six-marker haplotype was also associated with type 2 diabetes (P = 0.008), but neither transmission disequilibrium test nor family-based association studies were significant for the most strongly associated SNP in intron 2 (SNP CASQ2312). An independent association of SNPs in introns 2 and 4 with type 2 diabetes is reported in Amish families with linkage to chromosome 1q21-q24. Our findings suggest that noncoding SNPs in CASQ1 alter diabetes susceptibility, either by a direct effect on CASQ1 gene expression or perhaps by regulating a nearby gene such as PEA15. 相似文献

Adiponectin is a protein secreted by adipocytes that modulates insulin action. To assess whether variants of this gene contribute to the prevalence of insulin resistance in Caucasians, we genotyped 413 nondiabetic individuals for two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at this locus. The two SNPs (45T-->G and 276G-->T) were chosen because of their association with type 2 diabetes in Japanese. Whereas each polymorphism was significantly associated with some correlate of insulin resistance, the haplotype defined by the two together was strongly associated with many components of the insulin resistance syndrome. Homozygotes for the risk haplotype had higher body weight (P = 0.03), waist circumference (P = 0.004), systolic (P = 0.01) and diastolic (P = 0.003) blood pressure, fasting glucose (P = 0.02) and insulin (P = 0.005) levels, homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) for insulin resistance (P = 0.003), and total to HDL cholesterol ratio (P = 0.01). Homozygotes also had significantly lower plasma levels of adiponectin (P = 0.03), independent of sex, age, and body weight. In an independent study group of 614 Caucasians, including 310 with type 2 diabetes, the risk haplotype was confirmed to be associated with increased body weight (P = 0.03) but not with type 2 diabetes per se. We conclude that variability at the adiponectin locus is associated with obesity and other features of the insulin resistance syndrome, but given the nature of the two SNPs, the risk haplotype is most probably a marker in linkage disequilibrium with an as yet unidentified polymorphism that affects plasma adiponectin levels and insulin sensitivity. 相似文献

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARG) agonists used to treat type 2 diabetes. TZDs can also be used to reduce rates of type 2 diabetes in at-risk individuals. However, a large fraction of TZD-treated patients (30-40%) do not respond to TZD treatment with an improvement in insulin sensitivity (Si). We hypothesized that variation within the gene encoding PPARG may underlie this differential response to TZD therapy. We screened approximately 40 kb of PPARG in 93 nondiabetic Hispanic women (63 responders and 30 nonresponders) with previous gestational diabetes who had participated in the Troglitazone In the Prevention Of Diabetes study. TZD nonresponse was defined as the lower tertile in change in Si after 3 months of treatment. Baseline demographic and clinical measures were not different between responders and nonresponders. We identified and genotyped 131 variants including 126 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 5 insertion-deletion polymorphisms. Linkage disequilibrium analysis identified five haplotype blocks. Eight variants were associated with TZD response (P < 0.05). Three variants were also associated with changes in Si as a continuous variable. Our results suggest that PPARG variation may underlie response to TZD therapy in women at risk for type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

alpha2-Heremans-Schmid glycoprotein (AHSG) is an abundant plasma protein synthesized predominantly in the liver. The AHSG gene, consisting of seven exons and spanning 8.2 kb of genomic DNA, is located at chromosome 3q27, a susceptibility locus for type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome. AHSG is a natural inhibitor of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, and AHSG-null mice exhibit significantly enhanced insulin sensitivity. These observations suggested that the AHSG gene is a strong positional and biological candidate for type 2 diabetes susceptibility. Direct sequencing of the AHSG promoter region and exons identified nine common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with a minor allele frequency > or =5%. We carried out a detailed genetic association study of the contribution of these common AHSG SNPs to genetic susceptibility of type 2 diabetes in French Caucasians. The major allele of a synonymous coding SNP in exon 7 (rs1071592) presented significant evidence of association with type 2 diabetes (P = 0.008, odds ratio 1.27 [95% CI 1.06-1.52]). Two other SNPs (rs2248690 and rs4918) in strong linkage disequilibrium with rs1071592 showed evidence approaching significance. A haplotype carrying the minor allele of SNP rs1071592 was protective against type 2 diabetes (P = 0.014). However, our analyses indicated that rs1071592 is not associated with the evidence for linkage of type 2 diabetes to 3q27. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: There is substantial evidence for genetic susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy. In particular, genes that predispose to hypertension in the general population may confer susceptibility to nephropathy in patients with diabetes. A Gly460Trp variant in the alpha-adducin gene has been associated with essential hypertension. Our aim was to screen the alpha-adducin gene for polymorphisms and to determine if any variants predisposed patients with diabetes to nephropathy. A secondary objective was to assess for association between the Gly460Trp variant and hypertension. METHODS: The exons of the alpha-adducin gene were resequenced in 30 individuals. Selected variants were then genotyped in 155 patients with type 1 diabetes and nephropathy (cases) and 216 persons with type 1 diabetes but no evidence of nephropathy (controls) from Northern Ireland and in 95 cases and 118 controls from the Irish Republic. RESULTS: Eleven polymorphisms were detected, of which six were novel and three caused amino-acid substitutions. The Gly460Trp and a novel Ser617Cys polymorphism were in strong linkage disequilibrium (D' = 0.98). Neither the genotype nor allele frequencies for the Gly460Trp polymorphism (P = 0.89 and 0.93 respectively) or the Ser617Cys polymorphism (P = 0.46 and 0.76) were significantly different between cases and controls when the Northern Ireland and Irish Republic sample groups were combined. Carriage of the 460Trp allele was not significantly associated with systolic or diastolic blood pressure in either the cases (P = 0.48 and 0.06, respectively) or in the controls (P = 0.50 and 0.94, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Variation in the alpha-adducin gene does not play a major role in the development of nephropathy in persons with type 1 diabetes in the Irish population. Furthermore, the Gly460Trp variant was not associated with hypertension in this population. 相似文献

The K121Q polymorphism in ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) is associated with type 2 diabetes and obesity. The possibility of other ENPP1 polymorphisms influencing these phenotypes has received little attention. Our aim was to examine the associations of tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes of the linkage disequilibrium (LD) block containing K121Q polymorphism with type 2 diabetes in a Polish population, controlling for any effect of obesity. We genotyped 426 type 2 diabetic case and 370 control subjects for seven SNPs in ENPP1. In the total group, neither type 2 diabetes nor obesity was significantly associated with any SNP. However, in obese subjects, two SNPs were significantly associated with type 2 diabetes: the Q allele of K121Q (odds ratio 1.6 [95% CI 1.003-2.6]) and T allele of rs997509 (4.7 [1.6-13.9]). In the LD block, four SNPs plus the K121Q polymorphism distinguished six haplotypes, three of which carried the Q allele. Interestingly, the T allele of rs997509 sufficed to distinguish a 121Q-carrying haplotype that was significantly more associated with type 2 diabetes than the other two (4.2 [1.3-13.5]). These other two 121Q-carrying haplotypes were not associated with type 2 diabetes. In conclusion, we found a new SNP, rs997509, in intron 1 that is strongly associated with risk of type 2 diabetes in obese individuals. The molecular mechanisms underlying this association are unknown. 相似文献

Characterization of the annexin I gene and evaluation of its role in type 2 diabetes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In a previous study, we identified suggestive linkage between type 2 diabetes and a locus on chromosome 9p13-q21. This region contains the gene annexin I (ANXA1), encoding a protein suggested to be involved in both insulin secretion and insulin action. In this study, we sequenced the exon/intron boundaries of the human ANXA1 gene and performed mutation screening in 41 individuals from the initial linkage study. We identified five single nucleotide polymorphisms A58G, A401G, intronic variance sequence (IVS)8-28A/G, IVS11 +31A/G, and IVS12-11T/G, which were further tested for association to diabetes in 197 parent/offspring trios using the transmission disequilibrium test. No significant association with type 2 diabetes was observed, although the common A allele of the +58A/G variant gave a 22:12 transmission distortion (P = 0.12). This variant was further genotyped in 481 case and control subjects, but no difference in allele, genotype, or haplotype frequencies were observed between the groups. Further, a novel polymorphic (CA)(15-25) repeat in intron 11 was genotyped in the subjects included in the initial linkage study. No improvement of the original finding was observed. We therefore concluded that the ANXA1 gene is unlikely to harbor variants that contribute to risk of type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

Adiponectin receptor 1 gene (ADIPOR1) as a candidate for type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
Considerable data support adiponectin as an important adipose-derived insulin sensitizer that enhances fatty acid oxidation and alters hepatic gluconeogenesis. Adiponectin acts by way of two receptors, ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2. ADIPOR1 is widely expressed in tissues, including muscle, liver, and pancreas, and binds the globular form of adiponectin with high affinity. To test the hypothesis that sequence variations in or near the ADIPOR1 gene contribute to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome, we screened the eight exons (including the untranslated exon 1) of the ADIPOR1 gene with flanking intronic sequences and the 5' and 3' flanking sequences. We identified 22 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Caucasian and African-American subjects, of which a single nonsynonymous SNP (N44K) in exon 2 was present only in African-American subjects. We typed 14 sequence variants that had minor allele frequencies >5%. No SNP was associated with type 2 diabetes in Caucasians or African Americans, and no SNP was a determinant of insulin sensitivity or insulin secretion among nondiabetic members of high-risk Caucasian families. However, the two alleles of a SNP in the 3' untranslated region were expressed unequally, and ADIPOR1 mRNA levels were significantly lower among transformed lymphocytes from diabetic African-American individuals than among control cell lines. This altered gene expression might suggest a role for ADIPOR1 in the metabolic syndrome. 相似文献

To identify genetic variants contributing to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in type 2 diabetes, we performed a genome-wide analysis of 115,352 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in pools of 105 unrelated case subjects with ESRD and 102 unrelated control subjects who have had type 2 diabetes for > or =10 years without macroalbuminuria. Using a sliding window statistic of ranked SNPs, we identified a 200-kb region on 8q24 harboring three SNPs showing substantial differences in allelic frequency between case and control pools. These SNPs were genotyped in individuals comprising each pool, and strong evidence for association was found with rs2720709 (P = 0.000021; odds ratio 2.57 [95% CI 1.66-3.96]), which is located in the plasmacytoma variant translocation gene PVT1. We sequenced all exons, exon-intron boundaries, and the promoter of PVT1 and identified 47 variants, 11 of which represented nonredundant markers with minor allele frequency > or =0.05. We subsequently genotyped these 11 variants and an additional 87 SNPs identified through public databases in 319-kb flanking rs2720709 ( approximately 1 SNP/3.5 kb); 23 markers were associated with ESRD at P < 0.01. The strongest evidence for association was found for rs2648875 (P = 0.0000018; 2.97 [1.90-4.65]), which maps to intron 8 of PVT1. Together, these results suggest that PVT1 may contribute to ESRD susceptibility in diabetes. 相似文献

A newly identified 3'-untranslated region (UTR) polymorphism of the gene for skeletal muscle-specific glycogen-targeting subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (PPP1R3) was associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes in Pima Indians (Xia J, Scherers W, Cohen PTW, Majer M, Xi T, Norman RA, Knowler WC, Bogardus C, Prochazka M: A common variant in PP1R3 associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Diabetes 47:1519-1524, 1998). Thus, we investigated the frequency of polymorphism of the adenine- and thymine-rich element (ARE-1 and its variant ARE-2) in 426 Japanese type 2 diabetic and 380 nondiabetic subjects using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction enzyme fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method. The allele frequency of the ARE-2 variant in diabetic subjects was higher than that in nondiabetic subjects (0.34 vs. 0.29; P < 0.05), even though its frequency in Japanese subjects was lower (P < 0.001) than the reported value in Pima Indians (0.56). An aspartate polymorphism at codon 905 was 100% coupled to the ARE-2 allele, and its allele frequency was higher also in diabetic subjects. Although a serine substitution at codon 883 was partially linked with the ARE-2 allele, there was no difference between diabetic and nondiabetic subjects. These results indicate that the frequency of polymorphism of the PPP1R3 gene (ARE-2 and Asp905) is different between two ethnic groups and is increased in Japanese people with type 2 diabetes, suggesting that these variants may be a possible marker for searching for diabetogenic genes. 相似文献
