A Combination of Human Leukocyte Antigen DQB1*02 and the Tumor Necrosis Factor α Promoter G308A Polymorphism Predisposes to an Insulin-Deficient Phenotype in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 88 (6): 2767-2774,-0001,():
Our previous results have suggested that genes outside the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II locus may affect the phenotype of type 2 diabetic patients from families with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes (mixed type 1/2). To study whether the TNFα gene could be such a modifying gene, we studied TNFα promoter polymorphisms (G3A substitution at positions -308 and -238) in relation to HLA-DQB1 genotypes in type 2 patients from mixed type 1/2 families or common type 2 diabetes families as well as in patients with adult-onset type 1 diabetes and control subjects. The TNFα308 AA/AG genotype frequency was increased in adult onset type 1 patients (55%, 69 of 126), but it was similar in type 2 patients from type 1/2 families (35%, 33/93) or common type 2 families (31%, 122 of 395), compared with controls (33%, 95/284; P<0.0001 vs. type 1). The TNF 308 A and DQB1*02 alleles were in linkage disequilibrium in type 1 patients (Ds=0.81; P<0.001 vs. Ds=0.25 in controls) and type 2 patients from type 1/2 families (Ds=0.59, P<0.05 vs. controls) but not in common type 2 patients (Ds=0.39). The polymorphism was associated with an insulindeficient phenotype in the type 2 patients from type 1/2 families only together with DQB*02, whereas the common type 2 patients with AA/AG had lower waist to hip ratio [0.92 (0.12) vs. 0.94 (0.11), P=0.008] and lower fasting C-peptide concentration [0.48 (0.47) vs. 0.62 (0.46) nmol/liter, P=0.020] than those with GG, independently of the presence of DQB1*02. In conclusion, TNFα is unlikely to be the second gene in the HLA area responsible for our previous findings in type 1/2 patients. However, we could show an association between TNFα308 polymorphism and the phenotype of common type 2 diabetes.
