Association between FTO, MC4R, SLC30A8, and KCNQ1 gene variants and type 2 diabetes in Saudi population.
Recent genome wide association studies identified many loci in several genes that have been consistently associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus in various ethnic populations. Among the genes that were most strongly associated with diabetes were fat mass- and obesity-associated, melanocortin 4 receptor, solute carrier family 30 member 8 (SLC30A8), and a member of the potassium voltage-gated ch...
متن کاملAssociation of Obesity Related Genetic Variants (FTO and MC4R) with Breast Cancer Risk:a population-based case-control study in Iran
Background: The heterogeneous breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality. Obesity defined by BMI is known as a major risk factor for breast cancer. Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the role of obesity related-polymorphisms rs9939609 FTO and rs17782313 MC4R in breast cancer development. Materials and Methods: We obtained matched peripheral blood, serum ...
متن کاملAssociation between ACE (rs4646994), FABP2 (rs1799883), MTHFR (rs1801133), FTO (rs9939609) Gene Polymorphism and Type 2 Diabetes with Dyslipidemia
Diabetic dyslipidemia is one of the leading causes of coronary artery disease (CAD) death. Genetic and environmental factors play an important role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and dyslipidemia. The present study was aimed to investigate the association of ACE (rs4646994), FABP2 (rs1799883), MTHFR (rs1801133) and FTO (rs9939609) genetic polymorphism in T2DM with dyslipi...
متن کاملLack of Association between SLC30A8 Variants and Type 2 Diabetes in Mexican American Families
SLC30A8 encodes zinc transporter 8 which is involved in packaging and release of insulin. Evidence for the association of SLC30A8 variants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is inconclusive. We interrogated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) around SLC30A8 for association with T2D in high-risk, pedigreed individuals from extended Mexican American families. This study of 118 SNPs within 50 kb of the...
متن کاملInvestigating the rs2237892 and rs231362 Polymorphisms of KCNQ1 Gene Associations with Type 2 Diabetes in an Iranian Population (Yazd Province)
Objective: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a worldwide prevalent metabolic disorder and the cause of many morbidities and mortalities. KCNQ1 gene encodes α-subunit of voltage-gated potassium (K+) channel which plays a role in insulin secretion in the pancreas, thus its variants may confer susceptibility to diabetes. Recognition of genetic variants involved in T2DM could help the early diagnosis and p...
