Association of polymorphism of some candidate genes of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism with anthropometric indices and inflammatory markers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the population of Azerbaijan

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to analyze the association of gene polymorphisms of leptin, adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), insulin-induced gene, and the parameters of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, level of C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with anthropometric data. A total of 95 patients with T2DM of Azerbaijan population. The average age at the time of the survey was 50,4±0,51 years. Duration of the disease was 5,8±1,5 years. We found that patients with T2DM and obesity in the Azerbaijan population have most common polymorphism of insulin-induced gene in the homozygous form (GG), a mutant version of the gene in heterozygous form of leptin, adiponectin gene mutant variant in homozygous form and the normal version of the gene TNF-α in homozygous form. In 47.3% of cases there was a high level of CRP, a linear body mass index with normal homozygous GG allele of the TNF-a gene , insulin-induced gene, and a mutant version of the adiponectin and leptin genes.
