PG - 259-266 LID - 10.2217/bmm-2018-0322 [doi] AB - AIM: To investigate the presence/absence of the Chr-11 tRNA-Lys-CUU gene as a marker for genetic predisposition to Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: We enrolled 122 patients diagnosed with T2DM and 77 non-diabetic individuals. We evaluated clinical and biochemical parameters (body mass index, hypertension, cholesterol levels, glycosylated hemoglobin, triglycerides, etc.), and performed a genotypic profiling of Chr-11 tRNA-Lys-CUU by polymerase chain reaction analyses. RESULTS: Approximately one third of the population lacked Chr-11 tRNA-Lys-CUU. We did not observe a statistically significant association between the presence/absence of Chr-11 tRNA-Lys-CUU and T2DM. CONCLUSION: The genotypic distribution of Chr-11 tRNA-Lys-CUU in our population was consistent to that reported by others. This gene failed as a marker for T2DM predisposition.
