Brief Genetics Report The Gly3Arg IRS-1 Variant Is Associated With Type 1 Diabetes in Continental Italy

چکیده
The Arg insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) variant has been hypothesized to play a role in pancreatic -cell stimulus-coupled insulin secretion and survival. We analyzed the relations between type 1 diabetes and the Arg IRS-1 variant. The frequency of the IRS-1 Arg variant was investigated in two independent sets of unrelated patients: a case-control study and a collection of type 1 diabetes simplex families. In the former group, frequency of the IRS-1 Arg variant was significantly increased in the patients (P 0.0008), conferring an OR of 2.5. Transmission disequilibrium analysis of data obtained from the family set revealed that the Arg IRS-1 variant was transmitted from heterozygous parents to affected probands at a frequency of 70.2% (P < 0.02). Arg IRS-1 frequency showed no significant correlation with HLA genotypic risk for type 1 diabetes. Arg IRS-1 type 1 diabetic patients also had lower fasting plasma concentrations of C-peptide at the time of diagnosis with respect to patients carrying the wildtype IRS-1 (0.49 0.058, n 34, and 0.76 0.066, n 134, respectively [means SE]; P 0.051). Our findings suggest a role for Arg IRS-1 in conferring risk for the development of type 1 diabetes. Diabetes 52:887–890, 2003

The insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 is an important component of the insulin signal transduction cascade. Several reports suggest that a Gly3Arg change in codon 972 is associated with type 2 diabetes and related traits, and a recent meta-analysis reported a modest but nominally significant association with type 2 diabetes (odds ratio [OR] 1.25 in favor of carriers of the Arg allele [95% CI 1...
متن کاملAssociation between the synonymous variant organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3)-1233G>A and the glycemic response following metformin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes
Objective(s): Organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3) as a high-capacity transporter contribute to the metabolism of metformin. The present study was conducted to determine the genotype frequencies of the variant OCT3-1233G>A (rs2292334) in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its relationship with response to metformin. Materials and Methods: This study included 150 patients wit...

To assess the role of insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1, and IRS-2 genes in insulin resistance, we explored the genomic DNA in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and a variable degree (mean +/- SE) of insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment index for insulin resistance [HOMA(IR)] 3.2 +/- 0.6, n = 53; control subjects 1.56 +/- 0.34, n = 102) using direct sequ...
متن کاملA common amino acid polymorphism in insulin receptor substrate-1 causes impaired insulin signaling. Evidence from transfection studies.
Insulin receptor substrates-1 (IRS-1) is the major cytoplasmic substrate of the insulin and IGF-1 receptors. Recent studies have identified multiple sequence variants of IRS-1, especially in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. In the present study, we have examined insulin-stimulated processes in 32D(IR) cells, a myeloid progenitor cell stably overexpressing the insulin recep...
