ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this study is to investigate whether specific polymorphisms in the CTLA-4 and CD28 gene are associated with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

METHODS:

Blood samples were collected from 241 individuals (72 patients with T2DM and 169 healthy individuals) and DNA was isolated. A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method was used to detect the frequencies of CTLA-4 NM_005214.3c.49A > G and c.-319C > T, and CD28 NM_006139.1c.534+17T> C polymorphisms in T2DM patients in the Sanliurfa Population.

RESULTS:

The data suggested that body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were significantly higher in T2DM patients than in the control individuals (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed for the frequencies of c.49A > G, c.-319C > T genotype and allele of CTLA-4 gene and c.534+17T> C of the CD28 gene in T2DMpatients compared to healthy individuals (p > 0.05).

CONCLUSION:

The CTLA-4 gene c.49A >G and c.-319C >T and CD28 gene c.534+17T> C polymorphisms did not represent an important risk factor for this disease in a group of the Turkish population.
RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

El objetivo de este estudio es investigar si los polimorfismos específicos en los genes CTLA- 4 y CD28 se hallan asociados con la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DMT2).

MÉTODOS:

Se recogieron muestras de sangre de 241 individuos (72 pacientes con DMT2 y 169 individuos sanos) y se aisló el ADN. Se usó un método de polimorfismo de la longitud de los fragmentos de restricción-reacción en cadena por la polimerasa (PCR-RFLP), con el fin de detectar las frecuencias de CTLA-4 NM_005214.3c.49A > G y c. -319C > T, y los polimorfismos CD28 NM_006139.1c.534 + 17T > C en pacientes con DMT2 en la población de Sanliurfa.

RESULTADOS:

Los datos sugirieron que el índice de masa corporal (IMC), el colesterol total (CT), el triglicérido (TG), el colesterol de lipoproteína de baja densidad (CLBD) y la hemoglobina A1c (HbA1c) eran significativamente más altas en los pacientes con DMT2 que en los individuos del grupo control (p < 0.05). No se observó diferencia significativa alguna en relación con las frecuencias de c.49A > G, c. -319C > el genotipo de T y el alelo del gene CTLA-4 y c.534+17T > C del gene de CD28 en pacientes con DMT2 comparados a los individuos sanos (p > 0.05).

CONCLUSIÓN:

Los polimorfismos del gene CTLA-4 c.49A > G y el gene de c. -319C > T, y los polimorfismos del gene CD28 c.534 + 17T > C no representaron un factor de riesgo importante para esta enfermedad en un grupo de la población turca.
