The aim of this study was to ascertain the polymorphic markers profile of ADIPOQ, KCNJ11 and TCF7L2 genes in Kyrgyz population and to analyze the association of polymorphic markers and combinations of ADIPOQ gene's G276T locus, KCNJ11 gene's Glu23Lys locus and TCF7L2 gene's VS3C>T locus with type two diabetes (T2D) in Kyrgyz population.
Diabetes genomics research has illuminated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in several genes including, fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) (rs9939609 and rs9926289), potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily J member 11 (rs5219), SLC30A 8 (rs13266634) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (rs1805192).
Evaluating a combined cohort of ARIC and JHS participants, we sought to determine if KCNJ11 variants are risk factors for diabetes; and if KCNJ11 variants modify the association between serum K and diabetes risk.
Results The dominant (EE v EK + KK, p = 0.022) and additive (EK v EE + KK, p = 0.021) models, but not the recessive model (KK v EE + EK, p = 0.727) of KCNJ11 were linked to diabetes.
Pancreatic autopsy tissue sections from a 2-year-old female child diagnosed with KCNJ11-related diabetes at 4 days of age and 13 age-matched controls were stained with insulin, glucagon, somatostatin, pancreatic polypeptide, and Ki67 antibodies to determine islet endocrine cell composition and area.
This series represents the largest and most comprehensive study of neuropsychological and behavioural dysfunction of individuals with KCNJ11diabetes and is the first to compare outcome with sibling controls.
Monogenic mutations, such as those in the potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11 (KCNJ11) and insulin (INS) genes, are identified in young patients with type 1B diabetes (non-autoimmune-mediated).
Diabetes susceptibility in Mayas: Evidence for the involvement of polymorphisms in HHEX, HNF4α, KCNJ11, PPARγ, CDKN2A/2B, SLC30A8, CDC123/CAMK1D, TCF7L2, ABCA1 and SLC16A11 genes.
Functional characterization of a novel KCNJ11 in frame mutation-deletion associated with infancy-onset diabetes and a mild form of intermediate DEND: a battle between K(ATP) gain of channel activity and loss of channel expression.
Our results suggest that genetic diagnosis for the KCNJ11 mutations in familial early-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus may help in understanding the molecular aetiology and in providing more personalised treatment for these specific forms of diabetes in Chinese and other Asian patients.
We observed suggestive associations with the diabetes risk variant rs7961581 (p = 0.038; between TSPAN8 and LGR5) and rs5215 (p = 0.043; KCNJ11), the LDL risk variant rs11206510 (p = 0.045; PCSK9), as well as the AF risk locus ZFHX3.
The KCNJ11 and ABCC8 genes were sequenced in 115 infants with permanent diabetes diagnosed between 6 and 12 months and in 405 patients presenting before 6 months.
KCNJ11 should be considered as the etiology of diabetes even beyond the neonatal period if present in combination with negative autoantibody testing and even mild neurological symptoms.
Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) due to KCNJ11 gene mutation presents with diabetes in the first 3 months of life and sometimes with neurological features like developmental delay, muscle weakness and epilepsy.
