Adipoq polymorphisms among thais with pre-diabetes.

ADIPOQ POLYMORPHISMS AMONG THAIS WITH PRE-DIABETES. Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health. 2016 Nov;47(6):1306-14 Authors: Chaikhiandee S, Phonrat B, Tungtrongchitr A, Suriyaprom K, Chuengsamarn S, Uttamachai C, Tungtrongchitr R Abstract Studies have shown that polymorphisms of adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) are associated with risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, no studies have investigated the association between genetic variants of ADIPOQ and pre-diabetes, a group at higher risk for developing T2DM. A total of 75 pre-diabetes and 130 normal subjects were recruited from volunteers in Bangkok, Thailand. Individuals with pre-diabetes were selected based on American Diabetes Association diagnostic criteria. Six ADIPOQ polymorphisms were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. ADIPOQ polymorphism rs266729 C>G is significantly associated with pre-diabetes (p = 0.006). CG/GG genotypes were found among 60% and 40% of pre-diabetes and normal subjects, respectively. SNP rs266729 C>G was associated with increased pre-diabetes risk (OR = 2.64; 95% CI: 1.18-5.89, p = 0.018). No significant differences were found between pre-diabetes and normal subjects for other ADIPOQ polymorphisms. However, haplotype analysis revealed that haplotype GGTAAT is significantly associated with pre-diabetes when compared with GCGAAC reference haplotype (OR = 22.31; 95% CI: 1.37-361....
