| Summary: | Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a complex metabolic disorder characterised by
impaired insulin secretion, insulin resistance, and hyperglycemia, caused by the
defects in pancreatic b-cells. Although evidence suggests that multiple genetic and
environmental factors are involved in the development and progression of T2DM, Still
the underlying causes are unknown and have not been fully elucidated. There have
been a variety of genetic studies concerning Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, and some of
them showed an association with the occurrence of T2DM. Although there are various
candidate genes have been associated with the T2DM in various populations with
conflicting results, variations found in Glucokinase (GCK), glucokinase regulatory
protein (GCKR), Glucose-6-phosphatase 2(G6PC2) and Melatonin receptor type 1B
(MTNR1B) genes are not well studied particularly among Asians. Glucokinase is the
key glucose phosphorylation enzyme that regulates glucose-stimulated insulin
secretion from pancreatic beta cells and glucose metabolism. A few selected genes
polymorphism variant shown to be associated with increased risk of TDM,
hyperglycaemia and impaired beta-cell function. The main objective of this study was
to determine the candidate genes polymorphism involved in essential Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus among Malay subjects. Since, there have been a variety of genetic association
studies of, GCK, GCKR, G6PC2 and MTNR1B conducted on a different population;
however, no study was done on Malaysia populations and consistent with
Type2DiabetesMellitus.Genetic polymorphism is serving as molecular biomarkers for
the detection of the individual at risk of developing the disease. This association study
included 200 of subjects without Diabetes as control and 200 of subjects with
Diabetes type 2 as a case. Extraction genomic DNA was done all subjects. GCK gene
polymorphism was detected using Polymerase Chain reaction (PCR) followed by
Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The PCR products were
digested with MwoI (Fermentas) restriction enzyme at 60°c for 20 min. The RFLP products were detected using 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. GCKR, G6PC2, and
MTNR1B gene were detected by real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) with Taq-Man probes.
Genotype and allele frequencies in case and control samples were compared by using
Chi-Square test while characteristic clinical parameters and social-demographic
background were analysed using descriptive statics. In this study also the findings
have shown that family history of T2DM is high among the subjects (71.3%)
compared to the control subjects (54.1%) highlighting the importance of family
history assessment in prevention and screening programs and simple measurement of
diabetes risk. Body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FPG), HbA1c, systolic
blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and cholesterol is highly
significant (p<0.05) between T2DM and control subjects recognizing the risk factors
of T2DM among Malay ethnics in Malaysia. However, the other risk factors such as
smoking, waist-hip ratio (WHR), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglycerides
(TG) did not reveal any significant difference between cases and controls (p > 0.05).
The results of this study were show that the genotypes and allele frequencies of GCK
rs1799884 A/G, GCKR rs780094 T/C, and MTNR1B rs10830963 C/G gene were
highly significant risk of developing T2DM Diabetes amongst Malays subjects as
compared to the healthy (p<0.05), whereas there appears to be no significant
association between the genetic polymorphism of G6PC2 rs560887 A/G gene. Hence,
this candidate genes as possible genetic biomarker and risk factor for Diabetes Type
2 as a case in Malay subjects. |
