摘要
目的探讨早发T2DM家系患者配对盒4(PAX4)基因外显子3,5及9的多态及临床特点。方法选取上海地区96个家系中96例早发T2DM且有糖尿病家族史的患者(T2DM组)和96名OGTT正常、≥50岁且无糖尿病家族史的对照者(NGT组)。PCR测定两组人群PAX4基因突变/变异情况,统计分析基因型、等位基因分布频率及临床特点。结果两组Arg192Ser多态基因型(Arg/Arg、Arg/Ser、Ser/Ser)及等位基因(Arg、Ser)频率比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0. 01),T2DM组Ser/Ser基因型及Ser等位基因频率高于NGT组[(99. 0%vs 1. 0%),(99. 0%vs 1. 0%),P<0. 01]。T2DM组检出PAX4基因新的错义突变Arg192Ser(C→A),导致第192位氨基酸由精氨酸突变成丝氨酸。外显子3未发现多态,PAX4基因外显子9 His321Pro(A→C)多态可能不是早发T2DM的遗传易感标志。结论 PAX4基因Arg192Ser突变可能是上海人群早发T2DM的易感标志。
Objective To investigate the polymorphisms in exon 3, 5 and 9 in paired box4(PAX4)gene and their clinical characteristics in early onset type 2 diabetes(T2DM) families. Methods A total of192 subjects in Shanghai were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: patients with early onset T2DM and T2DM family history(T2DM group, n = 96), and healthy subjects≥50 years old, with normal OGTT and no family history of T2DM(NGT group, n= 96). PCR-direct sequencing was used to detect polymorphism in exon 3,5 and 9 in PAX4 gene in all the subjects. Genotypes,allele frequencies and clinical characteristics were compared between the two groups. Results Genotypes(Arg/Arg, Arg/Ser, Ser/Ser)and allele frequency(Arg, Ser) of Arg192 Ser were significant different(P<0.01) between NGT and T2DM group(P<0. 01). Ser/Ser genotype and Ser allele frequencies were higher in T2DM group than in NGT group(genotype ratio was 99.0% vs 1.0%, allele ratio was 99.0% vs 1.0%, P<0.01). A new missense mutation Arg192 Ser(C→A) in PAX4 gene was detected in T2DM group, leding to the mutation of arginine(Arg) to serine(Ser). No polymorphism was found in exon 3. The polymorphism of His321 Pro(A→C) of exon 9 in PAX4 gene may not be a genetic candidate of the early onset of T2DM. Conclusion The Arg192 Ser in PAX4 gene may be a genetic candidate of early onset T2DM in Shanghai.
