Although cross-sectional studies have associated the Pro12Ala polymorphism of PPARG with type 2 diabetes, prospective studies offer more opportunities to investigate genetic variants. Associations between PPARG polymorphisms with insulin resistance parameters and with the 6-year incidence of impaired fasting glucose or type 2 diabetes were tested in 3,914 French Caucasians from the DESIR (Data From an Epidemiological Study on the Insulin Resistance Syndrome) cohort. In subjects normoglycemic at baseline (n = 3,498), the 6-year risk of hyperglycemia was lower in PPARG Ala carriers (odds ratio [OR] vs. ProPro = 0.66 [95% CI 0.44-0.99], P = 0.046 adjusted for sex, age, and BMI). Similar results were found with the PPARG C1431T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; adjusted OR = 0.65 [0.44-0.96], P = 0.036). Both alleles are in strong linkage disequilibrium (D' = 0.669, P < 0.001). The baseline mean fasting insulin and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) were lower in Ala carriers compared with ProPro homozygotes (P = 0.001 for both), with smaller increases in mean insulin and HOMA-IR during follow-up (P = 0.007 and 0.018, respectively). No association with insulin levels or HOMA-IR was found with C1431T. In this cohort, the APM1 G-11391A SNP is associated with the development of hyperglycemia. The combined effects of PPARG Pro12Ala and APM1 G-11391A SNPs showed no interaction on the risk of 6-year hyperglycemia. The PPARG Ala allele showed a relatively high protective effect in developing hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia during a 6-year period. Cumulative rather than synergistic effects of PPARG Pro12Ala and APM1 SNPs on diabetes risk are suggested. 相似文献

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma2 (PPARgamma2) Pro12Ala polymorphism has been associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes and a lower albumin excretion rate (AER) in patients with established diabetes. We performed a case-control study aiming to evaluate the association between the Pro12Ala polymorphism and diabetic nephropathy. Genomic DNA was obtained from 104 type 2 diabetic patients (case subjects) with chronic renal insufficiency (78 on dialysis and 26 with proteinuria [AER >or=200 microg/min] and serum creatinine >or=2.0 mg/dl) and 212 normoalbuminuric patients (AER <20 microg/min) with known diabetes duration >or=10 years (control subjects). The genotypic distribution of the PPARgamma2 Pro12Ala polymorphism in these diabetic patients was in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and the Ala allele frequency was 9%. The frequency of Ala carriers (Ala/Ala or Ala/Pro) was 20.3% in control subjects and 10.6% in case subjects (P = 0.031). The odds ratio of having diabetic nephropathy for Ala carriers was 0.465 (95% CI 0.229-0.945; P = 0.034). Carriers of the Ala allele were not different from noncarriers (Pro/Pro) regarding sex (38.9 vs. 44.1% males) or ethnicity (77.4 vs. 71.7% white) distribution, age (61 +/- 10 vs. 61 +/- 10 years), known diabetes duration (17 +/- 7 vs. 16 +/- 7 years), BMI (27 +/- 4 vs. 28 +/- 5 kg/m(2)), fasting plasma glucose (184 +/- 81 vs. 176 +/- 72 mg/dl), HbA(1c) (6.7 +/- 2.3 vs. 6.9 +/- 2.4%; high-performance liquid chromatography reference range: 2.7-4.3%), and systolic (145 +/- 27 vs. 0.144 +/- 24 mmHg) or diastolic (87 +/- 14 vs. 85 +/- 14 mmHg) blood pressure, respectively. In conclusion, the presence of the Ala allele may confer protection from diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

The Pro12Ala polymorphism in the PPARgamma2 gene has been associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance. Recently, an association between dizygotic twinning and PPARgamma gene polymorphisms has been proposed. We investigated the phenotypic appearance of the two polymorphisms (Pro12Ala and exon 6 C-->T) in PPARgamma among elderly twins (207 monozygotic [MZ] and 342 dizygotic [DZ]) and evaluated whether they could explain previously reported differences in plasma glucose and insulin profiles among MZ and DZ twins. We demonstrated a significant impact of the Pro12Ala polymorphism on glucose tolerance, diabetic status, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, and plasma insulin profiles in twins. No impact of the silent exon 6 polymorphism on glucose homeostasis or plasma insulin profiles was found. Independent of the polymorphisms, we observed a significant impact of zygosity status per se on the plasma insulin profile after oral glucose ingestion, with the MZ twins being more hyperinsulinemic, indicating insulin resistance, than the DZ twins. Nonsignificantly higher glucose concentrations were observed among MZ compared with DZ twins. We demonstrated an association between the Ala allele and reduced risk of diabetes and insulin resistance in twins. However, the differences in metabolic profiles among MZ and DZ twins were not explained by differences in frequencies of the genetic variants and may be due to intrauterine environmental factors operating in twins independent of genotype. Accordingly, our study simultaneously supports a role for both the intrauterine environment (thrifty phenotype) and for genetics (thrifty genotype) in the etiology of insulin resistance and perhaps glucose intolerance in twins. 相似文献

A novel tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) polymorphism associated with asthma in Australian women 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
BACKGROUND: Airway remodelling is a characteristic feature of chronic asthma and there is evidence that an airway imbalance between levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) is associated with airway remodelling. On this basis, we hypothesised that polymorphisms in the MMP-9 and TIMP-1 genes were associated with the disease process. METHODS: A number of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 gene polymorphisms were examined in an adult white Australian population of mild (n = 259), moderate (n = 213) and severe (n = 71) asthmatics and non-asthmatic controls (n = 406) using PCR-RFLP and PCR-SSCP analyses. RESULTS: MMP-9 -1562C>T and 836G>A (Arg279Gln) were not associated with asthma (p> or =0.15) or asthma severity (p> or =0.13), and TIMP-1 434T>C (Phe124Phe) was not associated with asthma in women (p = 0.094) or men (p = 0.207). In this population, MMP-9 -861C>T and TIMP-1 323C>T (Pro87Pro) were not informative (with minor allele frequencies of <1%), and MMP-9 -1702T>A and TIMP-1 595C>T (Ser178Phe) were not detectable. However, a novel polymorphism was detected in the TIMP-1 gene 536C>T (Ile158Ile) which was significantly associated with asthma in women (p = 0.011; OR = 5.54, 95% CI 1.66 to 34.4) but not in men (p = 1.0). 536C>T was found to be in linkage disequilibrium with 434T>C, and haplotype analysis supported an association with asthma (p = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first reported association between a polymorphism in the TIMP-1 gene and asthma, and supports the hypothesis that the protease/antiprotease balance has an important role in this common disease. 相似文献

This study determined the effects of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-gamma2 Pro12Ala variant on body composition and metabolism and the magnitude of weight regain in 70 postmenopausal women (BMI 25-40 kg/m(2)) who completed 6 months of a hypocaloric diet. At baseline, BMI, percent body fat, intra-abdominal and subcutaneous abdominal fat areas, resting metabolic rate, substrate oxidation, and postprandial glucose and insulin responses were not different between genotypes (Pro/Pro = 56, Pro/Ala and Ala/Ala = 14). The intervention similarly decreased body weight by 8 +/- 1% in women homozygous for the Pro allele and by 7 +/- 1% in women with the Ala allele (P < 0.0001). Fat oxidation did not change in Pro/Pro women but decreased 19 +/- 9% in women with the Ala allele (P < 0.05). Changes in glucose area were not different between groups; however, women with the Ala allele decreased their insulin area more than women homozygous for the Pro allele (P < 0.05). Weight regain during follow-up was greater in women with the Ala allele than women homozygous for the Pro allele (5.4 +/- 0.9 vs. 2.8 +/- 0.4 kg, P < 0.01). PPAR-gamma2 genotype was the best predictor of weight regain (r = 0.50, P < 0.01), followed by the change in fat oxidation (partial r = 0.35, P < 0.05; cumulative r = 0.58). Thus, the Pro12Ala variant of the PPAR-gamma2 gene may influence susceptibility for obesity. 相似文献

Evidence for gene-nutrient interaction at the PPARgamma locus 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15

The importance of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARgamma) in regulating insulin resistance and blood pressure has been demonstrated in families with loss of function mutations. Gain of function mutations has been associated with severe obesity. However, previous population studies of the common variant Pro12Ala have produced conflicting results. As it is likely that the natural ligands for this receptor may include fatty acids, we hypothesized that the effect of this common variant may be altered by the character of the diet, particularly the ratio of dietary polyunsaturated fat to saturated fat (P:S ratio). We studied 592 nondiabetic participants in an ongoing population-based cohort study who were genotyped for the Pro12Ala polymorphism in the PPAR gamma2 isoform. As the Ala homozygotes were uncommon (2.0%), all analyses were conducted comparing Pro homozygotes (79.1%) to Ala allele carriers. There was no difference in fasting insulin concentration or BMI between Ala allele carriers and Pro homozygotes. The fasting insulin concentration was negatively associated with the P:S ratio (P = 0.0119) after adjustment for age and sex, and a strong interaction was evident between the P:S ratio and the Pro12Ala polymorphism for both BMI (P = 0.0038) and fasting insulin (P = 0.0097). The data suggest that when the dietary P:S ratio is low, the BMI in Ala carriers is greater than that in Pro homozygotes, but when the dietary ratio is high, the opposite is seen. This gene-nutrient interaction emphasizes the difficulty of examining the effect of common polymorphisms in the absence of data on nongenetic exposures, and may explain the heterogeneity of findings in previous studies. 相似文献

Evidence is accumulating that chronic inflammation may have an important role in prostate cancer (PCa). Three common polymorphisms in the promoter of interleukin-10 (IL-10) gene, -1082 A>G, -819 C>T and -592 C>A, have been implicated to alter the risk of PCa, but the results of relative studies are inconclusive or controversial. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, we performed an updated meta-analysis on the basis of 10 studies. A comprehensive search was conducted to examine all the eligible studies of IL-10 polymorphism and PCa risk. We used odds ratios (ORs) to assess the strength of the association, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) give a sense of the precision of the estimate. Overall, there were no significant associations between increased risk of PCa and IL-10 -1082 A>G, -819 C>T and -592 C>A polymorphisms. However, meta-analysis suggested that IL-10 -819 C>T and -592 C>A polymorphisms might be modestly associated with PCa aggressiveness (T versus C, OR=1.162, 95% CI: 1.035-1.305, P=0.011; A versus C, OR=1.131, 95% CI: 1.012-1.264, P=0.030; respectively). IL-10 -819 C>T and -592 C>A polymorphisms might impact PCa progression. Variant alleles at both -819 and -592 were modestly associated with advanced stages of PCa. Additional well-designed studies are warranted to validate these findings. 相似文献

XPC gene polymorphisms and risk of idiopathic azoospermia or oligozoospermia in a Chinese population
Liang J Gu A Xia Y Wu B Lu N Wang W Lu C Zheng Q Wang S Wang X 《International journal of andrology》2009,32(3):235-241
A retrospective case–control study was carried out in the Han-Chinese population to determine the polymorphisms of xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C ( XPC ) gene on the risk of idiopathic azoospermia or oligozoospermia. The Ala499Val (C>T) and Lys939Gln (A>C) polymorphism of XPC gene were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in three groups of infertile men (172 patients of azoospermia, 25 patients of severe oligozoospermia, 55 patients of oligozoospermia) and 228 fertile men. Increased risk of idiopathic azoospermia, but not oligozoospermia was associated with the XPC variant genotypes of Ala499Val (C>T) [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.67, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.04–2.68 for CT heterozygote and adjusted OR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.10–3.75 for TT homozygote] compared with CC homozygous wide-type. The Lys939Gln (A>C) polymorphism was not related to spermatogenic failure. The combined risk alleles analysis and haplotype analysis showed that ORs increased as the number of the risk alleles increased and the 499T-939C haplotype had a significantly increased risk of idiopathic azoospermia (OR = 7.97; 95% CI = 3.51–18.07) compared with other haplotypes. The results suggest that XPC Ala499Val (C>T) polymorphism is correlated with high risk of idiopathic azoospermia in the Han-Chinese population. 相似文献

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 Pro12A1a variant: association with type 2 diabetes and trait differences 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Recent studies have identified a common proline-to-alanine substitution (Pro12Ala) in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 (PPAR-gamma2), a nuclear receptor that regulates adipocyte differentiation and possibly insulin sensitivity. The Pro12Ala variant has been associated in some studies with diabetes-related traits and/or protection against type 2 diabetes. We examined this variant in 935 Finnish subjects, including 522 subjects with type 2 diabetes, 193 nondiabetic spouses, and 220 elderly nondiabetic control subjects. The frequency of the Pro12Ala variant was significantly lower in diabetic subjects than in nondiabetic subjects (0.15 vs. 0.21; P = 0.001). We also compared diabetes-related traits between subjects with and without the Pro12Ala variant within subgroups. Among diabetic subjects, the variant was associated with greater weight gain after age 20 years (P = 0.023) and lower triglyceride levels (P = 0.033). Diastolic blood pressure was higher in grossly obese (BMI >40 kg/m2) diabetic subjects with the variant. In nondiabetic spouses, the variant was associated with higher fasting insulin (P = 0.033), systolic blood pressure (P = 0.021), and diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.045). These findings support a role for the PPAR-gamma2 Pro12Ala variant in the etiology of type 2 diabetes and the insulin resistance syndrome. 相似文献

The links between preterm birth, low birth weight, and adult vascular/metabolic morbidity remain unclear. Genetic susceptibility of babies related to these three conditions might contribute to this long-term association. We tested whether the Pro12Ala polymorphism of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) gene could play a role in birth weight and duration of gestation. We genotyped two independent cross-sectional studies from Northern Ireland (n = 382 and 620). In combined populations, the PPARG Ala12 allele was associated (P = 0.03) with lower birth weight, primarily caused by shorter gestational duration (P = 0.04). The frequency of Ala12 allele carriers was higher (P = 0.027) in the group of individuals born before term (35%, n = 60) than in the group of individuals born at term (22%, n = 942). The odds ratios (95% CI) of preterm birth for Ala12 allele carriers were 1.9 (1.1-3.4), P = 0.022, and 4.2 (1.9-9.7), P = 0.0006 (adjusted for sex, maternal age, and study), when considering 37 or 35 weeks of pregnancy as a threshold for preterm birth, respectively. Interestingly, the same allele was also associated with a moderate decreased risk of miscarriages in mothers. In conclusion, the PPARG Pro12Ala polymorphism might represent a genetic susceptibility factor for preterm birth and constitute a link between preterm birth and metabolic diseases later in life. 相似文献

The genetic effects of FLT3 polymorphisms on BMD and fracture risk in postmenopausal women were studied. We found that FLT3+13348C>T polymorphism and haplotype 2 were significantly associated with low BMD and high risk of fracture. INTRODUCTION: FMS-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) has been shown to play a critical role in the development of myelolymphoid progenitors and in the development of osteoclasts, but any possible genetic effect of FLT3 on bone metabolism has not been studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS: To study a possible genetic effect of FLT3, we directly sequenced the FLT3 gene in 24 Korean individuals and identified 23 sequence variants. Seven polymorphisms were selected and genotyped in Korean postmenopausal women (n = 946). RESULTS: We found that FLT3+13348C>T was associated with low BMD at the lumbar spine (p = 0.04) and femoral neck (p = 0.04). Haplotype analysis revealed that FLT3-ht2 (TTCTT) containing the rare allele in the +13348 position also showed significant association with low BMD in the lumbar spine (p = 0.04) and femoral neck (p = 0.05). Consistent with these results, the FLT3+13348C>T polymorphism and FLT3-ht2 were also significantly associated with high risk of fracture in the vertebrae (OR = 1.44-1.58; p = 0.03-0.04 and OR = 1.45-1.59; p = 0.02-0.03, respectively) and in any sites (OR = 1.34-1.81; p = 0.02-0.03 and OR = 1.34-1.81; p = 0.02-0.03, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that FLT3 polymorphisms play a role in determination of BMD and subsequent fractures in postmenopausal women. 相似文献

Possible contribution of vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) gene for determination of BMD was tested by characterizing 13 SNPs in 384 adult Japanese women. When the effect of a specific single SNP was tested, five SNPs (-39C>T, IVS1+827C>T, IVS1+1916C>T, IVS1-1154A>G, and IVS11+1097G>C) correlated with BMD significantly at various levels. The chromosomal dosage of one haplotype (T-C-C-G-T-C in -39C>T, IVS1+827C>T, IVS1+1916C>T, IVS1-1154A>G, D432E, and IVS11+1097G>C) displayed significant correlation with adjusted radial BMD (r = 0.15, p = 0.008; n = 331). Multiple regression analyses revealed a most significant correlation with the combination of IVS1+827C>T and D432E (r2 = 0.029, p = 0.005). These results indicate a complex combined effect of several SNPs within the DBP gene that might underlie susceptibility to low radial BMD and osteoporosis. INTRODUCTION: Osteoporosis results from the interplay of multiple environmental and genetic determinants. The gene encoding vitamin D-binding protein (DBP), a key factor for regulating calcium homeostasis through the vitamin D endocrine system, is a probable candidate for conferring susceptibility to osteoporosis. METHODS: To test a possible contribution of the DBP gene for determination of bone mineral density (BMD) of adult women, we have characterized 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the DBP gene in DNA from 384 adult Japanese women and attempted to correlate specific SNPs with BMD. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Sixteen major haplotypes accounted for 80% of the variations, indicating allelic complexity in this genomic region. Pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD), measured by the D' and r2 statistics, demonstrated a general pattern of decline with increasing distance, but individual LD values within small genomic segments were diverse. Regression analysis for adjusted BMD revealed significant correlation with respect to five of them (-39C>T, IVS1+827C>T, IVS1+1916C>T, IVS1-1154A>G, and IVS11+1097G>C) at various levels. An intronic SNP (IVS11+1097G>C) with the highest significance of association (p = 0.006) showed significant LD with four SNPs located around the first exon (r2 values > 0.18, D' > 0.5). A non-synonymous coding SNP, D432E, showed a comparable level of correlation, but it was in a moderate LD only with IVS11+1097G>C. The chromosomal dosage of one haplotype (T-C-C-G-T-C in -39C>T, IVS1+827C>T, IVS1+1916C>T, IVS1-1154A>G, D432E and IVS11+1097G>C) estimated in each subject displayed significant correlation with adjusted radial BMD (r = 0.15, p = 0.008; n = 331). Furthermore, multiple regression analyses revealed that the most significant correlation was achieved for the combination of IVS1+827C>T and D432E (r2 = 0.029, p = 0.005). These results indicate a complex combined effect of several SNPs within the DBP gene that might underlie susceptibility to low radial BMD and osteoporosis. 相似文献

Recent research suggests that the Pro12Ala variant in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma2 (PPAR-gamma2) is associated with diabetes- and obesity-related traits, and that its effects may be modified by obesity status. We characterized this variant in a population-based sample of 1,441 middle-aged African-American individuals with respect to diabetes-, obesity-, and other cardiovascular-related traits, both cross-sectionally and prospectively. The overall frequency of Ala12 was 1.9% (95% CI 1.5-2.5%), significantly lower than in Caucasian populations. Consistent with previous findings in Caucasians, African Americans with type 2 diabetes tended to be less likely to have the Pro/Ala genotype than those without (odds ratio [OR] 0.64, 95% CI 0.34-1.20); however, this OR was not statistically significant. Among nonobese individuals, the Pro/Ala genotype was associated with significantly lower ln(insulin) (P = 0.001), lower ln(HOMA-IR) (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance) (P = 0.002), higher fasting glucose-to-insulin ratio (P = 0.005), and lower diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.02). Among overweight individuals (BMI 25-29.9 kg/m(2)), the Pro/Ala genotype was associated with greater BMI (P = 0.02), waist-to-hip ratio (P = 0.01), and waist circumference (P = 0.04). Among obese individuals, there was no association between any of the diabetes- or obesity-related traits and the Pro12Ala PPAR-gamma2 variant. We conclude that among nonobese African Americans, the Pro/Ala genotype is associated with markers of greater insulin sensitivity. 相似文献

Protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B negatively regulates leptin and insulin signaling, potentially contributing to hormonal resistance. We selected six tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) representing 18 common variants in the protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B gene (PTPN1) and tested their effect on serum leptin, body fat, and measures of insulin sensitivity and the metabolic syndrome in a large sample of normal female Caucasian twins (n = 2,777; mean age, 47.4 +/- 12.5 years) from the St. Thomas' U.K. Adult Twin Registry. SNP rs718049 was significantly associated with waist circumference (P = 0.008) and central fat (P = 0.035) and also with Avignon's insulin sensitivity index (SiM) (P = 0.007), fasting insulin (P = 0.004), fasting glucose (P = 0.022), triglyceride (P = 0.023), and systolic blood pressure (P = 0.046). SNPs rs2282146 and rs1885177 were associated with SiM (P = 0.049 and P = 0.013, respectively), and 1484insG was associated with triglyceride (P = 0.029). A risk haplotype (7.3%) was associated with lower SiM (P = 0.036) and a protective haplotype (5.2%) with higher SiM (P = 0.057), with mean values in homozygotes differing by >1 SD (P = 0.003). The protective haplotype also showed lower triglyceride (P = 0.045) and lower systolic blood pressure (P = 0.006). Fine mapping analyses predicted significant associations with SiM and fasting insulin for several ungenotyped SNPs. PTPN1 variants appear to contribute to central fat and metabolic syndrome traits, secondary to their effect on insulin sensitivity. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) plays an important role in the modulation of cellular growth and differentiation in a wide variety of cell types and in the production/degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). We investigated whether G-800A, C-509T and Leu10-->Pro polymorphisms in the TGF-beta1 gene could be involved in the development and progression of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). METHODS: DNA samples were obtained from 101 patients with biopsy proven IgA mesangial nephropathy and 118 healthy controls. The genotypes of G-800A, C-509T and Leu10-->Pro polymorphisms in the TGF-beta1 gene were determined by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) with MaeIII, Eco 81I and Pst I, respectively. RESULTS: No significant differences were observed in the genotype distribution of the three TGF-beta1 polymorphisms between patients and controls. The TAC haplotype (T=Leu10, A-800 and C-509 alleles, respectively) was significantly associated with IgAN (p=0.043; odds ratio (OR) =2.334, 95 % confidence interval (95%CI) 1.01-5.41). CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that the haplotype reconstruction of TGF-beta1 gene polymorphisms could be more informative than the investigation of single nucleotide polymorphisms for defining the associated risk of developing IgAN. Further research is needed on larger cohorts to confirm TGF-beta1 involvement and test other TGF-beta1 variants with possible additive or synergistic effects. 相似文献
