RESUMO

Objective: Vitamin D is a potent immune modulator and is associated with autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes (T1D). The vitamin D levels and its receptor gene polymorphisms together in T1D are not yet investigated in the South Indian population. The present study focused on exploring the significance of vitamin D levels and vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms with the risk of developing T1D in the South Indian population. Methods: Patients with T1D and unaffected first-degree relatives (FDRs) were included in this study. Genotyping of VDR polymorphisms at four different loci (FokI- F/f, BsmI- B/b, TaqI- T/t, and ApaI- A/a) was assessed through the amplification refractive mutation system-polymerase chain reaction method. Serum vitamin D levels were measured in 98 T1D patients and 75 age- and sex-matched siblings. Results: A total of 120 patients with T1D and 214 FDRs were included. Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) was observed in a higher proportion of T1D patients than in controls (52% vs. 32%; p<0.03). The frequency of the FokI-FF genotype was significantly higher [odds ratio (OR)=1.66; p<0.03] in T1D patients conferring a susceptible association with the disease. Nevertheless, the increased frequency of heterozygous Ff genotype (OR=0.57; p<0.02) among controls may confer a protective association with T1D. Furthermore, the transmission disequilibrium test revealed over-transmission of ApaI-A (T: U=15/5; p<0.006) and BsmI-B alleles (T: U=17/5; p<0.01) and under-transmission of BsmI-b/ApaI-a/TaqI-T haplotype (T: U=5.4/14.4; p=0.04) from parents to T1D patients. Conclusion: The present study concludes that VDD is the major contributing risk factor to T1D development in the South Indian population. Furthermore, the FokI-FF genotype, BsmI-B, and ApaI-A alleles were positively associated with T1D. In contrast, the FokI-Ff genotype and BsmI-b/ApaI-a/TaqI-T haplotype were negatively associated with T1D.

RESUMO

Objective: Zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8) is a multi-transmembrane protein situated in the insulin secretory granule of the islets of ß-cells and is identified as a novel auto-antigen in type 1 diabetes (T1D). The gene coding for ZnT8, solute carrier family 30 member 8 (SLC30A8) is located on chromosome 8q24.11. This study aimed to identify the association of SLC30A8 rs13266634 C/T gene polymorphism with T1D in a sample of T1D children in Tamil Nadu, India. Methods: The family based study was conducted in 121 T1D patients and 214 of their family members as controls. The SLC30A8 gene rs13266634 C/T polymorphism was evaluated by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results: No significant differences were observed in either allele (odds ratio: 0.92; confidence interval: 0.33-2.58; p=0.88) and genotype (CC: p=0.74; CT: p=0.82; TT: p=0.80) frequencies of rs13266634 C/T between T1D patients and controls. Transmission disequilibrium test has identified over-transmission of mutant T allele from parents to affected children (T: U=9:7) without statistical significance. Metaanalysis on the overall effects of rs13266634 C allele frequency was not different (p=0.10 and Pheterogeneity=0.99) in T1D patients as compared to the controls. Conclusion: The present study along with the meta-analysis does not show any substantial association of the rs13266634 C/T polymorphism with T1D development in this population.
