Influence of IGF2BP2, HMG20A, and HNF1B genetic polymorphisms on the susceptibility to Type 2 diabetes mellitus in Chinese Han population

Biosci Rep. 2020 May 29;40(5):BSR20193955. doi: 10.1042/BSR20193955.

Abstract

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the roles of insulin related gene IGF2BP2, HMG20A, and HNF1B variants in the susceptibility of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and to identify their association with age, gender, BMI, and smoking and alcohol drinking behavior among the Han Chinese population.

Methods: About 508 patients with T2DM and 503 healthy controls were enrolled. Rs11927381 and rs7640539 in IGF2BP2, rs7178572 in HMG20A, rs4430796, and rs11651052 in HNF1B were genotyped by using the Agena MassARRAY. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by logistic regression.

Results: We found that HMG20A rs7178572 (OR = 1.25, P = 0.015) and HNF1B rs11651052 (OR = 1.26, P = 0.019) increased the risk of T2DM. Rs7178572, rs4430796, and rs11651052 might be related to the higher T2DM susceptibility not only by itself but also by interacting with age, gender smoking, and alcohol drinking. Rs11927381 also conferred the higher T2DM susceptibility at age ≤ 59 years. Besides, rs7178572-AA (P = 0.032) genotype and rs11651052 GG (P = 0.018) genotype were related to higher glycated hemoglobin and insulin level, respectively.

Conclusion: Specifically, we first found that rs11927381, rs7640539, and rs11651052 were associated with risk of T2DM among the Han Chinese population. We also provide evidence that age, gender, BMI, smoking, and drinking status have an interactive effect with these variants on T2DM susceptibility.
