Peripheral Arterial Disease in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) exhibits broad clinical characteristics and various consequences and is known as one of the major macrovascular complications of T2DM. Atherosclerosis is recognized as the most direct and important cause of PAD, but acute or chronic limb ischemia may be the result of various risk factors. In light of the increasi...
متن کاملReplication of TCF7L2 rs7903146 association with type 2 diabetes in an Iranian population
The transcription factor 7-like 2 gene (TCF7L2) rs7903146 T allele is constantly associated with Type 2 diabetes in various populations and ethnic groups. Nevertheless, this has not been observed in two studies involving Arab populations. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between TCF7L2 rs7903146 in an Iranian population. Type 2 diabetes patients (N = 258) and norm...
متن کاملTCF7L2 Variant rs7903146 Affects the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes by Modulating Incretin Action
OBJECTIVE Common variants in the gene TCF7L2 confer the largest effect on the risk of type 2 diabetes. The present study was undertaken to increase our understanding of the mechanisms by which this gene affects type 2 diabetes risk. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Eight subjects with risk-conferring TCF7L2 genotypes (TT or TC at rs7903146) and 10 matched subjects with wild-type genotype (CC) unde...
متن کاملThe TCF7L2 rs7903146 (C/T) polymorphism is associated with risk to type 2 diabetes mellitus in Southern-Brazil.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the rs7903146 (C/T) polymorphism in the TCF7L2 gene and type 2 diabetes mellitus, in a Southern-Brazilian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS The TCF7L2 rs7903146 polymorphism was genotyped in 953 type 2 diabetic patients and 535 non-diabetic subjects. All subjects were white. The polymorphism was genotyped by Real-Time ...
متن کاملPeripheral arterial disease in patients with diabetes.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic, lifestyle-limiting disease and is an independent predictor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular ischemic events. Despite the recognition that PAD is associated with a marked increase in the risk of ischemic events, this particular manifestation of systemic atherosclerosis is largely underdiagnosed and undertreated. The risk of PAD is markedly inc...
