We investigated two genetic markers in pro inflammatory molecules : TNFalpha -308G/A and IL6 -174G/C in order to assess their effect on type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity in the Tunisian population.
The study sample includes 228 patients with T2D and 300 healthy controls. Genotyping of IL6 -174G/C (rs1800795) was performed using Automated Dye Terminator Sequencing and of TNFalpha -308G/A (rs1800629) using the LightTyper technology.
SNPs IL6 -174G/C and TNFalpha -308G/A are associated neither with T2D (p=0.89, p=0.34 respectively) nor with risk for overweight (p=0.86, p=0.12 respectively) in Tunisian population. Bonferroni correction showed that the founded association of IL6 -174G/C SNP with T2D susceptibility restricted to overweight patients (p(nominal)=0.03, p(corrected)=0.0033) is likely to be a random result.
SNPs IL6 -174G/C and TNFalpha -308G/A are not major contributors to T2D or obesity risk in our Tunisian population.
我们研究了两种促炎分子中的遗传标记:TNFalpha -308G/A 和 IL6 -174G/C,以评估它们对 2 型糖尿病(T2D)和肥胖在突尼斯人群中的影响。
研究样本包括 228 例 T2D 患者和 300 名健康对照者。采用自动染料终止测序法检测 IL6 -174G/C(rs1800795)的基因分型,采用 LightTyper 技术检测 TNFalpha -308G/A(rs1800629)的基因分型。
IL6 -174G/C 和 TNFalpha -308G/A 单核苷酸多态性与 T2D(p=0.89,p=0.34)或超重(p=0.86,p=0.12)均无相关性。Bonferroni 校正显示,IL6 -174G/C 单核苷酸多态性与 T2D 易感性的相关性仅限于超重患者(p(名义)=0.03,p(校正)=0.0033),这可能是一个随机结果。
在我们的突尼斯人群中,IL6 -174G/C 和 TNFalpha -308G/A 单核苷酸多态性不是 T2D 或肥胖风险的主要因素。
