ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the function of 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the PRKCZ gene, a susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes in Han population of North China, in the pathogenesis of the disease.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Bioinformatic methods and reporter gene activity determination were used to analyze the function of the 5 SNPs.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The reporter gene activities of different alleles of 2 SNPs, rs427811 and rs809912, were obviously different, which implies that these 2 SNPs might be susceptibility loci of the disease.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The PRKCZ gene is further confirmed to be a susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes in Han population of North China. Two SNPs in the gene play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease by affecting the expression level of PRKCZ gene.</p>
