PG - 952-7 LID - S0026-0495(15)00137-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.metabol.2015.05.005 [doi] AB - INTRODUCTION: Irisin has recently been described as a novel myokine, which reduces visceral obesity and improves glucose metabolism in mice. Thus, polymorphisms in the gene encoding irisin, fibronectin type III domain containing 5 (FNDC5), may be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and related disorders. However, to date, no study has investigated the association between FNDC5 polymorphisms and susceptibility to T2DM. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of FNDC5 rs3480 (A/G) and rs1746661 (G/T) polymorphisms, alone or in combination, with T2DM and its clinical features. METHODS: We analyzed 1006 T2DM patients and 434 nondiabetic subjects. Polymorphisms were genotyped by real-time PCR using TaqMan MGB probes. Haplotypes constructed from the combination of rs1746661 and rs3480 polymorphisms were inferred using the Phase 2.1 program. RESULTS: Genotype, allele and haplotype frequencies of rs1746661 and rs3480 polymorphisms did not differ significantly between nondiabetic subjects and T2DM patients. Women with T2DM carrying the G allele of rs3480 showed increased HbA1c levels compared with A/A carriers, adjusted for age. The T allele of rs1746661 was associated with increased systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol and decreased HDL-cholesterol in women with T2DM, adjusted for covariates. Moreover, prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was higher in women carrying the T allele of rs1746661 than in G/G carriers (72.4% vs. 58.7%, OR=2.010, 95% CI=1.210-3.390), but it was not significantly different in men. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that, although not associated with T2DM, the G allele of rs3480 appears to be associated with increased HbA1c, while the T allele of rs1746661 appears to be associated with higher systolic blood pressure and dyslipidemia in women with T2DM.
