Association of vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Taif population: a case-control study

Braz. j. biol; 84 (), 2024
Abstract Several reasons may underlie the dramatic increase in type2 diabetes mellitus. One of these reasons is the genetic basis and variations. Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms are associated with different diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes. The aim of this study is to investigate the ...

The A allele of the rs759853 single nucleotide polymorphism in the AKR1B1 gene confers risk for diabetic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes from a Brazilian population

ABSTRACT Objective: The AKR1B1 gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of glucose into sorbitol. Chronic hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) leads to increased AKR1B1 affinity for glucose and, consequently, sorbitol accumulation. Elevated sorbitol increases oxidative stress...

When do we need to suspect maturity onset diabetes of the young in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?

ABSTRACT Objetivo: Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY) patients have clinical heterogeneity as shown by many studies. Thus, often it is misdiagnosed to type 1 or type 2 diabetes(T2DM). The aim of this study is to evaluate MODY mutations in adult T2DM patients suspicious in terms of MODY, and to ...

Serum mir-195-5p exhibits clinical significance in the diagnosis of essential hypertension with type 2 diabetes

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
OBJECTIVES: Diagnosis and management of essential hypertension (EH) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by combining comprehensive treatment and classificatory diagnosis have been continuously improved. However, understanding the pathogenesis of EH patients with concomitant T2DM and subsequent treatment r...

MODY 2 causado por mutaciones en la glucoquinasa: una aproximación a nivel molecular

La diabetes MODY 2 es un tipo de diabetes monogénica producida por una mutación en la enzima glucoquinasa, generando un fenotipo hiperglicémico. Para posibles fines terapéuticos o de diagnóstico, se debe conocer esta proteína, una enzima monomérica de la familia de las hexoquinasas, encargadas de ...

Prevalencia de alteraciones del metabolismo glucídico en familiares de primer grado de pacientes diabéticos tipo 2

Rev. cuba. med; 59 (2), 2020
Introducción: La diabetes mellitus se considera un síndrome heterogéneo con etiología compleja en el que influyen factores genéticos y ambientales. Objetivo: Identificar la presencia de alteraciones del metabolismo glucídico y factores de riesgo aterogénicos en familiares de primera línea de p...

Asociación del polimorfismo rs7903146, del gen TCF7L2, con marcadores de adiposidad y metabólicos en población chilena - resultados del estudio GENADIO

Rev. méd. Chile; 147 (8), 2019
Background: Type 2 diabetes etiology has a strong genetic component. More than 20 genetic variants have been associated with diabetes and other metabolic markers. However, the polymorphism rs7903146 of the TCF7L2 gene has shown the strongest association. Aim: To investigate the association of TCF7L2 (rs...

Ataxina-2, nuevo blanco en enfermedades genéticas complejas

Gac. méd. Méx; 155 (1), 2019
Resumen El gen de la ataxina-2 es un blanco en la patogénesis de enfermedades complejas, entre ellas los factores de riesgo cardiovascular y enfermedades neurodegenerativas. El gen ATXN2 tiene un VNTR en el exón 1, cuya expansión por encima de las 30 repeticiones provoca al desarrollo de ataxia espino...

Adipokine gene variability and plasma levels in patients with chronic periodontitis -a case-control study

Abstract: Specific variants in genes that encode adipokines and their mRNA and protein expression were previously studied in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, and similar studies have been performed for chronic periodontitis (CP). The aim of this case-control study was to investigate the possi...
