Type 2 & other diabetes

Target gene variations of PPAR isoforms may contribute to maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) heterogeneity: A preliminary comparative study with type 2 diabetes

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Genetic association study

Authors' conclusion

The association of PPARA-L162V polymorphism with early-onset diabetes in both T2DM and MODY is a noteworthy finding. Considering these results, we suggested that genetic polymorphisms in PPAR isoforms may contribute to the clinical and metabolic heterogeneity of MODY.

Study context

Population
Patients with MODY (genetically confirmed or unconfirmed), T2D and healthy controls; genotyped for PPARA-L162V (rs1,800,206), PPARG-C161T (rs3,856,806), P12A (rs1,801,282) and PPARB/D +294 T/C (rs2,016,520)
Participants
28 / 56 / 94 / 153
