Association Between The Bg1Ⅱ Polymorphism Of The α2β1 Integrin Gene And Diabetic Angiopathies | Posted on:2007-04-03 | Degree:Master | Type:Thesis | Country:China | Candidate:Y H Hu | Full Text:PDF | GTID:2144360212965949 | Subject:Internal Medicine | Abstract/Summary: | PDF Full Text Request | Objective: To investigate the distribution of Bg1â…¡gene polymorphisms ofα2β1 integrin and its association with diabetetic angiopathies in Chinese Han nationality patients.Methods: The patients were genetically unrelated Chinese subjects who had been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, monitored on a regular basis at the outpatient clinic or during hospitalization at Zhongda Hospital (Nanjing, Jiangsu). They were divided into 2 groups. The first group included 258 patients diabetetic angiopathies comprised 76 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), 74 diabetic nephropathy and 74 diabetic retinopathy patients.The second group consisted of 116 diabetes patients without angiopathies. The control group comprised 107 normally healthy subjects. A subject's clinical data was collected, their genomic DNA was then isolated from their peripheral blood leukocytes. Genotypes and frequencies of Bg1â…¡were examined by the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. All data was analyzed by SPSS 12.0 for windows.Results: The ratio for Bg1â…¡+/+ type gene in CHD patients with type 2 diabetetes was significantly higher than in patients with diabetes and without angiopathies and than in the health control group (56%vs23.3%,39.3%).(P<0.001). The different Bg1â…¡gene type would suggest an increased risk of serious CHD as diagnosed using coronary angiography. However there wasn't a strong correlation (the correlation coefficient was lower than 0.5). The frequency of Bg1â…¡allele showed significant differences in the insulin resistence index. The distribution of Bg1â…¡genotype and frequency of Bg1â…¡allele was significantly higher in diabetic nephropathy than in diabetic retinopathy and in the control group (P<0.05). And it was significantly higher in diabetic retinopathy than in the control group(P<0.05). The frequency of Bg1â…¡++ allele was significantly higher in diabetic angiopathies than that in the controls (P<0.05). Bg1â…¡++ genotype may be a risk factor for diabetic angiopathies (OR=1.909,95% CI:1.131~3.224, P=0.015). There is no difference in the serum HDL level between diabetic angiopathies and the control group (p>0.05). The distribution of Bg1â…¡genotype and frequency of Bg1â…¡allele did not differ between the diabetes patients without angiopathies group and normally healthy subjects. There was also no association of the different genotype with the plasmic lipid level.Conclusion: Chinese Han nationality patients with diabetic angiopathies had higher frequencies of Bg1â…¡++ genotype and Bg1â…¡++ allele polymorphism ofα2β1 integrin gene. Bg1â…¡++ genotype was not associated with plasmic lipid level in diabetic angiopathies patients nor in the two control groups. Therefore the Bg1â…¡++ allele polymorphism of theα2β1 integrin gene is possibly a high risk factor for diabetic angiopathies and Bg1â…¡genotype might be significant during the develepment of insulin resistence and diabetic nephropathy.
