Association of Polymorphisms in CAV1/CAV2 Locus with Type 2 Diabetes in Chinese Han Population / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To study the association of CAV1/CAV2 gene polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes in Chinese Han population.[Methods]14 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)of CAV1/CAV2 gene were genotyped in 272 pa-tients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM group)and 287 subjects with normal glucose tolerance(control group)by ma-trix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS).Waist circumference,body mass index,plasma glucose,serum insulin and lipid profiles were measured.Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resis-tance(HOMA-IR)and β-cell function(HOMA-β)were calculated.[Results]The minor allele frequency(MAF)distri-butions of CAV1 rs926198,CAV2 rs2270188,and rs1052990 were significantly different between T2DM group and con-trol group(P=0.008,0.021,and 0.045,respectively). After adjusting for age,gender,and BMI,logistic regression analysis showed that minor allele carriers(CC/CT genotype)of CAV1 rs926198 displayed a particularly increased risk of developing T2DM compared to major allele homozygotes(TT genotype)(OR=2.240,95% CI=1.415-3.544,P=0.001). GG/GA genotype carriers of CAV1 rs3807986 had lower odds for T2DM than that of AA genotype(OR=0.640,95% CI=0.449-0.913,P=0.014). Compared with TT genotype,GG/GT genotype of CAV2 rs2270188 was a protective factor for T2DM(OR=0.616,95% CI=0.432-0.878,P=0.007). Significant genotype association with T2DM was also identified in CAV2 rs1052990(GG/GT versus TT genotypeOR=0.658,95% CI=0.453-0.956,P=0.028). Multiple linear regression showed that minor allele C of SNP rs926198 was associated with an increased level of HOMA-IR(beta=1.010,P<0.001) and minor allele G of SNP rs2270188 was associated with a decreased level of HOMA-IR(beta=-0.379,P=0.023). No significant association was identified between any SNP and HOMA-β.Allele G of CAV1 rs3807986 and CAV2 rs2270188 were also associated with a decreased level of LDL-C(P=0.033 and 0.030,respectively).[Conclusion]CAV1/CAV2 locus might be the candidate genes for conferring susceptibility to T2DM in the Chinese Han population.SNP rs926198, rs3807986,rs2270188,and rs1052990 in CAV1/CAV2 locus were associated with T2DM risk perhaps through insulin resistance pathway.
