PMID- 16773428 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20070123 LR - 20181113 IS - 0300-8177 (Print) IS - 0300-8177 (Linking) VI - 290 IP - 1-2 DP - 2006 Oct TI - Ala45Thr variation in neuroD1 gene is associated with early-onset type 2 diabetes with or without diabetic pedigree in Chinese. PG - 199-204 AB - OBJECTIVE: Based on onset-age stratified analysis may be useful to determine the association of NeuroD1-Ala45Thr variation with susceptibility to genetic heterogeneous type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we investigated the Ala45Thr variation in unrelated early-onset and late-onset T2DM with or without diabetic pedigree and unrelated non-diabetic control subjects in Chinese. METHODS: 175 early-onset and 194 late-onset type 2 diabetic patients were further divided into two subgroups according to with or without diabetic pedigree respectively. This NeuroD1-Ala45Thr variation were screened by PCR-direct sequencing in above 369 type 2 diabetic patients and 87 unrelated non-diabetic control subjects. We then compared the distribution of the Ala45Thr variation among the groups, searching for the predictive trends. RESULTS: Frequencies of the variant (AA + GA genotype) in early-onset T2DM are obviously elevated, especially among diabetic pedigree subjects when compared to non-diabetic controls (p= 0.003) and late-onset T2DM subjects (p = 0.014). However, no significant differences were observed between late-onset T2DM with or without diabetic pedigree and non-diabetic control subjects. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that 1) the NeuroD1-Ala45Thr variation may itself have an important role in susceptibility to or be in disequilibrium with early-onset T2DM in Chinese; 2) the Ala45Thr may affect the onset pattern of T2DM, i.e., early-onset but not late-onset T2DM in Chinese; and 3) onset-age stratified analysis may be useful to determine the association of NeuroD1-Ala45Thr variation with susceptibility to genetic heterogeneous T2DM in Chinese.
