چکیده

Calpain-10 (CAPN10) protein may play a role in glucose metabolisms, pancreatic beta-cell insulin secretion and thermogenesis. Emerging evidence has implicated a role of CAPN10 genetic variants in the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Previous association studies, however, have focussed only on several variants initially reported and provided inconsistent results. We conducted a large nested case-control study to comprehensively investigate the associations between common variations in CAPN10 gene and T2DM risk among postmenopausal women aged 50-79 years from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study. After comprehensive screening in 244 randomly chosen control samples (n = 61 for each of four ethnic groups), we selected a total of 12 tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tSNPs) spanning 91 kb in CAPN10 and genotyped them in 1543 diabetes cases and 2132 matched controls (including 968 cases and 968 controls for whites, 366 and 732 for blacks, 152 and 303 for Hispanics and 98 and 195 for Asian/Pacific Islanders). There were no significant associations between any individual tSNP and T2DM, within either the full study sample or any specific ethnic group. Nor was there any evidence of association between common CAPN10 haplotypes and diabetes risk (global tests for differences in risk were P = 0.31 for overall common haplotypes, P = 0.44 for haplotypes in block 1 and P = 0.37 for haplotypes in block 2). In conclusion, we did not observe any significant associations of the common SNPs or haplotypes across the CAPN10 gene with diabetes risk in our large and ethnically diverse cohort of postmenopausal women.

Studies of association between the gene for calpain-10 and type 2 diabetes mellitus in the United Kingdom.

Variation in CAPN10, the gene encoding the ubiquitously expressed cysteine protease calpain-10, has been associated with type 2 diabetes in Mexican Americans and in two northern-European populations, from Finland and Germany. We have studied CAPN10 in white subjects of British/Irish ancestry, using both family-based and case-control studies. In 743 sib pairs, there was no evidence of linkage at...

Association of the diabetes gene calpain-10 with subclinical atherosclerosis: the Mexican-American Coronary Artery Disease Study.

The powerful relation between atherosclerosis and diabetes may have a common genetic basis. However, few genes predisposing to both have been identified. Calpain-10 (CAPN10) was the first gene for type 2 diabetes identified by positional cloning, wherein a combination of haplotypes conferred increased risk of diabetes. We sought to determine whether CAPN10 influences subclinical atherosclerosis...

Linkage of calpain 10 to type 2 diabetes: the biological rationale.

The follow-up studies to the original report of association of variation at calpain 10 (CAPN10) with type 2 diabetes in the Mexican-American population of Starr County, Texas, encompass a broad range of science. There are association studies on genetic variation at CAPN10 in different human populations over a range of phenotypes related to type 2 diabetes, physiological studies on the biologica...

Variation within the type 2 diabetes susceptibility gene calpain-10 and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Variation within the calpain-10 gene (CAPN10) has been proposed to account for linkage to type 2 diabetes on chromosome 2q in Mexican-Americans, and associations with diabetes have been reported in several other populations. Given the epidemiological, physiological, and genetic overlap between type 2 diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), CAPN10 represents a strong candidate gene for a ...

Population genetics of CAPN10 and GPR35: implications for the evolution of type 2 diabetes variants.

A positional cloning study of type 2 diabetes in Mexican Americans identified a region, termed "NIDDM1," on chromosome 2q37 with significant linkage evidence. Haplotype combinations at the calpain-10 gene (CAPN10) within this region were shown to increase diabetes risk in several populations. On the basis of the thrifty genotype hypothesis, variants that increase susceptibility to type 2 diabet...
