We examined the possible association of the -308G/A polymorphism of the TNF-α promoter gene in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) patients and in non-diabetic subjects with and without family history of DM2.
We studied 87 non-diabetic subjects without DM2 family history in at least one of two generations, 48 non-diabetic subjects with DM2 family history and 95 DM2 patients. Genotyping was carried out by PCR-RFLP.
The frequency of TNF-α -308G/A genotype was significantly lower in non-diabetic subjects without DM2 relatives (6%) as compared to DM2 patients (24%) (odds ratio (OR)=5.24; 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.9-15.8, p<0.0005), but similar to non-diabetic subjects with DM2 relatives (29%) (OR=0.77; CI=0.3-1.7, p=0.4). Logistic regression analysis showed the association of TNF-α -308G/A polymorphism with DM2 family history (OR=5.80; CI=1.77-18.98, p<0.0003).
Our results suggest that TNF-α -308G/A polymorphism is associated with DM2 family history and is a risk factor for DM2.
我们研究了肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)启动子基因-308G/A 多态性与 2 型糖尿病(DM2)患者及无 DM2 家族史的非糖尿病个体和有 DM2 家族史的非糖尿病个体之间的可能关联。
我们研究了至少两代中无 DM2 家族史的 87 名非糖尿病个体、48 名有 DM2 家族史的非糖尿病个体和 95 名 DM2 患者。采用 PCR-RFLP 法进行基因分型。
无 DM2 亲属的非糖尿病个体(6%)TNF-α-308G/A 基因型频率明显低于 DM2 患者(24%)(比值比(OR)=5.24;95%置信区间(CI)=1.9-15.8,p<0.0005),但与有 DM2 亲属的非糖尿病个体(29%)相似(OR=0.77;CI=0.3-1.7,p=0.4)。Logistic 回归分析显示 TNF-α-308G/A 多态性与 DM2 家族史有关(OR=5.80;CI=1.77-18.98,p<0.0003)。
我们的结果表明,TNF-α-308G/A 多态性与 DM2 家族史有关,是 DM2 的危险因素。
