Abstract:
The association of the Ser326Cys polymorphism of the 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1) gene with type 2 diabetes was examined using a Japanese population (n (M/W): 4585 (2085/2500); age: 62.6 +/- 10.9 years). HbA1c levels and frequency of diabetic subjects were significantly higher in subjects with genotypes with Cys allele than in those without (p = 0.032 and 0.037, respectively). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that genotypes with Cys allele were significantly associated with diabetes (OR: 1.32, p = 0.0289). In subjects whose glucose tolerance was classified by FPG and 2-h PG (n = 1.634), the association was more substantial (genotypes with Cys allele vs. without, OR: 1.70, p = 0.0059; genotypes Cys/Cys vs. Ser/Ser, OR: 2.19, p = 0.0008). In subjects with genotype Ser/Ser, the insulin secretion index, HOMA-beta, increased in the subjects with glucose intolerance and decreased in the subjects with diabetes, while, in subjects with genotypes Ser/Cys + Cys/Cys, HOMA-beta decreased as the glucose tolerance progressed (p for trend = 0.010).
