Abstract:
The association of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) G1691A in coagulation factor V (FV)-Leiden and G20210A in prothrombin (PRT) genes with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were analyzed in 112 T2DM patients (58 males, 54 females; mean age 55.24 +/- 13.5 years) and 249 healthy control subjects (118 males, 131 females; mean age 53.03 +/- 13.8 years). No association was found for FV-Leiden with T2DM, as the frequency of the G/G (82.1% vs. 85.5%), G/A (17.0% vs. 14.1%), and A/A (0.9% vs. 0.4%) genotypes was not different between patients and controls, respectively (P = 0.644). Similarly, lack of association of PRT G20210A with T2DM was seen among the population studied, and the frequency of the G/G (92.9% vs. 97.2%), G/A (6.3% vs. 2.8%), and A/A (0.9% vs. 0.0%) genotypes was similar among patients and controls, respectively (P = 0.094). Neither FV-Leiden nor PRT G20210A was associated with, and no evidence for interactions between these mutations was seen in, T2DM.

Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
