Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is characterised by insulin resistance and a relative shortage of insulin secretion. Tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) plays an important role in insulin resistance by impairing insulin signal transduction. The variants of the TNF-α promoter region are considered to influence its transcription and are associated with the TNF-α level. Therefore, it is worth detecting the association of the variants in the TNF-α gene with the development of T2DM. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of five variants (rs1799964, rs1800630, rs1799724, rs1800629 and rs361525) in the TNF-α gene promoter region with T2DM in a Chinese Han population. A total of 713 subjects with T2DM and 751 nondiabetic subjects were genotyped using the TaqMan method. The associations of the five variants with the development of T2DM were evaluated. The associations of the five variant genotypes with metabolic traits in nondiabetic subjects were analysed. Our data showed that the A allele of rs1800629 could increase the risk of developing T2DM (p = .002, OR = 1.563; 95% CI: 1.18-2.08). According to inheritance mode analysis, compared with the G/G genotype, the G/A+2A/A genotype of rs1800629 showed a risk effect on T2DM in the log-additive mode (p = .002, OR = 1.56; 95% CI: 1.17-2.07). The haplotypes analysis identified that the rs1799724-rs1800629CA was associated with high risk of the development of T2DM (p = .002, OR = 1.559, 95% CI: 1.173-2.072). Conversely, the rs1799724-rs1800629CG was a protective haplotype of T2DM (p = .001, OR = 0.732, 95% CI: 0.607-0.884). Moreover, compared with the rs1799964 (T/T+C/T) genotype, the rs1799964 C/C genotype was associated with higher glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in nondiabetic subjects (p = .017). Our results revealed that the rs1800629 in the TNF-α gene promoter region was associated with T2DM in a Chinese Han population.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Immunogenetics (formerly European Journal of Immunogenetics) publishes original contributions on the genetic control of components of the immune system and their interactions in both humans and experimental animals. The term ''genetic'' is taken in its broadest sense to include studies at the evolutionary, molecular, chromosomal functional and population levels in both health and disease. Examples are:
-studies of blood groups and other surface antigens-
cell interactions and immune response-
receptors, antibodies, complement components and cytokines-
polymorphism-
evolution of the organisation, control and function of immune system components-
anthropology and disease associations-
the genetics of immune-related disease: allergy, autoimmunity, immunodeficiency and other immune pathologies-
All papers are seen by at least two independent referees and only papers of the highest quality are accepted.
