Vitamin D gene polymorphisms are associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus in Korean youth

چکیده
Vitamin D deficiency is reported in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Allelic variations in the gene associated with vitamin D metabolism were reported to play a role in glucose metabolism. CYP2R1 and CYP27B1 gene polymorphisms were investigated as a candidate gene for T1DM in Korean youth. We measured serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in 217 subjects and defined vitamin D deficiency as 25-hydroxyvitamin D level below 20 ng/ml. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CYP2R1 gene and three SNPs in the CYP27B1 gene were examined in 92 patients with T1DM and 125 controls. The frequency of A/G alleles of the rs12794714 was 35.9%/64.1% and 46.0%/54.0% in T1DM youth and controls, respectively (p=0.034). The G/A alleles of the rs10766196 was 37.0%/63.0% and 46.0%/54.0% in T1DM youth and controls, respectively (p=0.059). We observed that the GG homozygous genotype of rs12794714 and AA homozygous genotype of rs10766196 were more prevalent in T1DM youth than in controls (42.4% vs. 29.6%, p=0.051 and 41.3% vs. 29.6%, p=0.073, respectively). The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was considerably higher in T1DM youth with ‘G’ allele of rs12794714 and ‘A’ allele of rs12794714. Polymorphisms in CYP2R1 gene are associated with susceptibility to T1DM in Korean youth. The pathophysiological mechanisms remain unexplained, but they could be related to an etiological role for vitamin D deficiency in T1DM.

Genetic Polymorphisms of Estrogen Receptors in Iranian Women with Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease
Estrogen might play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus type 2. Estrogens inhibit diabetes via distinct mechanisms particularly by reducing both hyperglycemia and plasma insulin levels. Estrogen exerts its physiological effects mainly through estrogen receptors including α and β types. Estrogen receptors are found in many tissues that participate in the pathogenesis of ty...

Introdution: Adiponectin is a peptide secreted from fat cells that plays an important role in the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. A number of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the adiponectin gene are associated with lower adiponectin expression and T2DM. The aim of this study was to determination the frequency of rs 2241766 polymorphism in adiponectin gene and its relat...

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes is one of the most common diseases with devastating complications. However, genetic susceptibility of diabetic complications has not been clarified. The vitamin D endocrine system is related with calcification and lipolysis, insulin secretion, and may be associated with many complicated disease including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Recent studies reported tha...
