Common variants in KCNQ1 have recently been reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes in East Asians. We aimed to examine whether these common variants (rs2074196, rs2237892, rs2237895 and rs2237897) were also associated with type 2 diabetes in a population-based cohort of 3210 Chinese Hans and to explore the underlying mechanisms. The SNPs rs2237892, rs2237895 and rs2237897 were significantly associated with type 2 diabetes (OR: 1.33-1.36, P <or= 0.0009), impaired fasting glucose (IFG) (OR: 1.16-1.19, P <or= 0.0193) and combined IFG/type 2 diabetes (OR: 1.23-1.24, P <or= 0.0004), and the corresponding population attributable risks of type 2 diabetes for the three SNPs were 32.5, 18.8 and 35.8%, respectively. However, rs2074196 showed a weak, but significant association with IFG (OR: 1.18 [1.04-1.33], P = 0.009) and combined IFG/type 2 diabetes (OR: 1.17 [1.05-1.30], P = 0.0053), as well as a trend toward association with type 2 diabetes (OR: 1.15 [0.98-1.35], P = 0.0882), suggesting a different pattern of association when compared with the other three SNPs. The four SNPs were all significantly associated with HOMA-B (P <or= 0.042) while rs2237895 and rs22378897 also showed significant association with fasting glucose (P <or= 0.012). Notably, the associations with type 2 diabetes were markedly attenuated after adjusting for HOMA-B (OR(rs2237892): 1.33 [1.05-1.68], P = 0.018; OR(rs2237895): 1.24 [1.00-1.54], P = 0.0524; OR(rs2237897): 1.22[0.98-1.53], P = 0.09). Moreover, GCCC haplotype showed similar associations with type 2 diabetes (OR: 1.48 [1.17-1.85], P = 0.0008), IFG (OR: 1.32 [1.10-1.57], P = 0.0023), combined IFG/type 2 diabetes (OR: 1.37 [1.17-1.61], P = 8.7 x 10(-5)), and lower HOMA-B values (beta = -4.41 +/- 1.62, P = 0.006). These results suggest that KCNQ1 is a major type 2 diabetes gene in the Chinese Hans and it may confer type 2 diabetes risk by impaired beta-cell function.
最近有报道称,KCNQ1基因的常见变异与东亚人的2型糖尿病有关。我们旨在研究这些常见变异(rs2074196、rs2237892、rs2237895和rs2237897)在3210名中国汉族人群队列中是否也与2型糖尿病相关,并探讨其潜在机制。单核苷酸多态性(SNP)rs2237892、rs2237895和rs2237897与2型糖尿病(比值比:1.33 - 1.36,P≤0.0009)、空腹血糖受损(IFG)(比值比:1.16 - 1.19,P≤0.0193)以及IFG/2型糖尿病合并症(比值比:1.23 - 1.24,P≤0.0004)显著相关,这三个SNP对2型糖尿病的相应人群归因风险分别为32.5%、18.8%和35.8%。然而,rs2074196与IFG(比值比:1.18 [1.04 - 1.33],P = 0.009)以及IFG/2型糖尿病合并症(比值比:1.17 [1.05 - 1.30],P = 0.0053)显示出较弱但显著的关联,与2型糖尿病也存在关联趋势(比值比:1.15 [0.98 - 1.35],P = 0.0882),这表明与其他三个SNP相比,其关联模式有所不同。这四个SNP均与胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA - B)显著相关(P≤0.042),而rs2237895和rs22378897与空腹血糖也显示出显著关联(P≤0.012)。值得注意的是,在调整HOMA - B后,与2型糖尿病的关联明显减弱(rs2237892的比值比:1.33 [1.05 - 1.68],P = 0.018;rs2237895的比值比:1.24 [1.00 - 1.54],P = 0.0524;rs2237897的比值比:1.22[0.98 - 1.53],P = 0.09)。此外,GCCC单倍型与2型糖尿病(比值比:1.48 [1.17 - 1.85],P = 0.0008)、IFG(比值比:1.32 [1.10 - 1.57],P = 0.0023)、IFG/2型糖尿病合并症(比值比:1.37 [1.17 - 1.61],P = 8.7×10⁻⁵)以及较低的HOMA - B值(β = - 4.41±1.62,P = 0.006)显示出相似的关联。这些结果表明,KCNQ1是中国汉族人群中一个主要的2型糖尿病基因,它可能通过β细胞功能受损导致2型糖尿病风险增加。
