ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 Polymorphisms and Haplotypes in Risk of Type 2 Diabetes
Journal Title: Gene, Cell and Tissue - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the fastest growing diseases in the world and may be related to abnormalities in serum lipid levels. The ATP-binding cassette transporterA1 (ABCA1) is a transporter that exports lipids from cells. Objectives The association between polymorphisms rs4149313 and rs2230806 of the ABCA1 gene in patients with T2D in Southeast of Iran was evaluated. Methods Two hundred and fifty patients with T2D and the same number (250) of healthy control subjects were genotyped for two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using the amplification-refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR) method. Results AA, AG, and GG genotype frequencies of the rs4149313 polymorphism were, respectively, 60, 20, and 20% in patients with T2D and 68.8, 21.6, and 9.6% in control subjects. The GG genotype and G allele differed significantly as a risk factor for T2D between patients with T2D and control groups (P < 0.001 and P < 0.0001, respectively). The frequencies of the rs2230806 genotypes did not differ significantly between the T2D and control groups (P > 0.05). The rs4149313/G-rs2230806/G (GG) haplotype differed significantly as a risk factor for T2D between the T2D and control groups (P = 0.0014, OR = 1.52, 95%CI = 1.18 - 1.96). Conclusions The G allele of the ABCA1 rs4149313 polymorphism was related with a higher risk of T2D, but no relationship existed between the ABCA1 rs2230806 polymorphism and T2D in the study population.
