The SLC38A4 gene is related to system 'A' activity, which seems to be related to impaired gluconeogenesis. The objective of this study was to determine whether the 292 C>T and 1304 G>A polymorphisms of SLC38A4 gene are associated with hyperglycaemia in humans.
A total of 227 individuals were enrolled in a case-control study, in which hyperglycaemia was defined by plasma glucose levels ≥95 mg/dL. Genotyping was carried out by using real-time polymerase chain reaction.
The frequency of mutant alleles of SLC38A4 gene for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 1304 G>A was 23.6% and 30.2% for SNP 292 C>T. The frequency of allele T for the SNP 292 C>T in the case and control groups did not show significant differences, whereas the frequency of allele A for the SNP 1304 G>A was significantly higher in the case group than in the control group (p = 0.04). In the logistic regression analysis, the SNP 1304 G>A [odds ratio (OR) 1.78; 95%CI 1.04-3.05, p = 0.03] but not SNP 292 C>T (OR 1.41; 95%CI 0.80-2.47, p = 0.23) showed a significant association with hyperglycaemia. After adjusting by body mass index, waist circumference and triglycerides, the SNP 1304 G>A remained significantly associated with hyperglycaemia (OR 2.13; 95%CI 1.18-3.83, p = 0.03). Pair wise linkage disequilibrium showed correlation (D' > 0.82) between 292 C>T and 1304 G>A SNPs. Haplotype association with hyperglycaemia also showed significant association between both homozygous mutant alleles (A/T) and hyperglycaemia (OR 1.68; 95%CI 1.01-2.79, p = 0.048).
Our results suggest that mutant allele A for SNP 1304 G>A of SLC38A4 gene is associated with hyperglycaemia.
SLC38A4 基因与系统 A 活性有关,而系统 A 活性似乎与糖异生受损有关。本研究的目的是确定 SLC38A4 基因的 292C>T 和 1304G>A 多态性是否与人类的高血糖有关。
共纳入 227 名病例对照研究的个体,其中高血糖定义为血浆葡萄糖水平≥95mg/dL。采用实时聚合酶链反应进行基因分型。
SNP1304G>A 的 SLC38A4 基因突变等位基因的频率为 23.6%,SNP292C>T 为 30.2%。病例组和对照组 SNP292C>T 等位基因 T 的频率无显著差异,而 SNP1304G>A 等位基因 A 的频率在病例组显著高于对照组(p=0.04)。在逻辑回归分析中,SNP1304G>A[比值比(OR)1.78;95%置信区间(CI)1.04-3.05,p=0.03]但 SNP292C>T(OR1.41;95%CI0.80-2.47,p=0.23)与高血糖显著相关。调整体重指数、腰围和三酰甘油后,SNP1304G>A 仍与高血糖显著相关(OR2.13;95%CI1.18-3.83,p=0.03)。两两连锁不平衡显示 292C>T 和 1304G>A 之间存在相关性(D'>0.82)。高血糖与单体型的关联也显示,SLC38A4 基因的 292C>T 和 1304G>A 两个纯合突变等位基因(A/T)与高血糖之间存在显著关联(OR1.68;95%CI1.01-2.79,p=0.048)。
我们的结果表明,SLC38A4 基因 SNP1304G>A 的突变等位基因 A 与高血糖有关。
