Lack of an association of miR-938 SNP in IDDM10 with human type 1 diabetes

چکیده
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a newly discovered type of small non-protein coding RNA that function in the inhibition of effective mRNA translation, and may serve as susceptibility genes for various disease developments. The SNP rs12416605, located in human type 1 diabetes IDDM10 locus, changes the seeding sequence (UGU[G/A]CCC) of miRNA miR-938 and potentially alters miR-938 targets, including IL-16 and IL-17A. In an attempt to test whether miR-938 may be a susceptibility gene for IDDM10, we assessed the possible association of the miR-938 SNP with T1D in an American Caucasian cohort of 622 patients and 723 healthy controls by TaqMan assay. Our current data do not support the association between the SNP in miR-938 and type 1 diabetes.

Association of CpG-SNP and 3\'UTR-SNP of WFS1 with the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in an Iranian Population
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common multifactorial disorders in Iran. Recent genome wide association studies (GWASs), and functional studies have suggested that WFS1 may predispose individuals to T2DM. However, to date, the possible association of such variants with T2DM in Iranians remained unknown. Here, we investigated the association of the two polymorphisms of WFS1 (r...

Background and purpose: Diabetes Mellitus is one of the most common endocrine diseases. The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is higher than other types, accounting for 85-90% of all diabetic cases. The current research aimed at investigating the association between rs4541843 in miR-182 and type 2 diabetes. Materials and methods: In this case-control study, healthy individuals (n=196) and type 2 d...
متن کاملAssociation of miR-146a rs2910164 and miR-27a rs895819 polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes susceptibility: A Meta-Analysis
Background and Aim: Several investigations have evaluated the association of miR-146a rs2910164 and miR-27a rs895819 single-nucleotide polymorphisms with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the findings are conflicting and inconclusive. Therefore, this meta-analysis performed to investigate the association between these polymorphisms and T2D risk. Methods: Studies were identifie...
متن کاملAssociation of MiR-146a Expression and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-Analysis
Although deregulation of miR-146a has been reported in type 2 diabetes repeatedly, the direction of deregulation events (up or down) remained to be inconsistent in literatures. Therefore, in this study, we performed a meta-analysis on the possible association between miR-146a expression levels and type 2 diabetes. A systematic literature searching of PubMed, ISI Web of Science and Google ...

Dear Editor, The recent article by Mohammadzadeh et al.[1] on the latest issue of this Journal showed that the T allele +276G/T SNP of ADIPOQ gene is more associated with the increasing risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Adipocytes were described in myocardial tissue of CAD patients and their role recently discussed[2,3]. Susceptibility to CAD by polymorp...
