RESULTS

Our study included 101 T2DM patients (65 males and 36 females) and 97 controls (53 males and 44 females). The mean age of the T2DM patients and controls were 41.32 ± 11.39 years and 40.13 ± 10.28 years, respectively. The age of onset in T2DM patients was 44.05 ± 11.20 years. Clinical and biochemical profiles of the patients and controls are shown in Table 1. The mean BMI, blood pressure, random blood sugar (RBS), fasting blood sugar (FBS), Hb A1C, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, VLDL cholesterol, triglyceride and serum creatinine levels in the diabetic patients were significantly higher than in the control subjects (p <0.001). We have found the significant correlation between the RBS-Hb A1C (p <0.001), RBS-serum cholesterol (p = 0.007), RBStriglyceride (p = 0.049), serum creatinine-Hb A1C (p = 0.002), serum creatinine-triglyceride (p <0.001), serum creatinine-VLDL (p <0.001), serum cholesteroltriglyceride (p =0.001), serum cholesterol-HDL (p <0.001), HDL-VLDL (p = 0.019), VLDL-triglyceride (p <0.001). The frequency of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes was 38.61 and 7.92%, respectively, in T2DM patients, while it was 53.61 and 4.12%, respectively, in the controls. The frequency of positive GSTM1 and GSTT1 genotypes was 61.38 and 92.07%, respectively, in T2DM patients as compared to 46.39 and 95.87% in the controls. Odds ratio (OR) for GSTM1 null genotypes was 0.544 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.31-0.96, p = 0.046, χ2 = 3.97, power = 0.923, Bonferroni corrected p = 0.092], for the GSTT1 null genotypes 2.0 OR (95% CI 0.58- 6.87, p = 0.405, χ2 = 0.694, power = 0.869, Bonferroni corrected p = 0.810). The OR for the GSTM1 positive genotypes was 1.837 (95% CI 1.04-3.23, p = 0.046, χ2 = 3.97, power = 0.923, Bonferroni corrected p = 0.092), for the GSTT1 positive genotypes 0.5 OR (95% CI 0.15-1.72, p = 0.405, χ2 = 0.694, power = 0.869, Bonferroni corrected p = 0.810) and the GSTM1 and GSTT1 wild genotypes 1.569 (95% CI 0.89-2.75, p = 0.115, χ2 = 2.49, power = 0.918, Bonferroni corrected p = 0.345). The frequencies of the FTO genotypes AA, AT, TT in T2DM patients were 4.95, 71.28 and 23.76%, respectively, while in the control group these frequencies were 0.00, 75.25 and 24.74%, respectively. The frequency of the A and T alleles in T2DM patients was 40.59 and 59.40% as compared to 37.62 and 62.37% in the controls. The OR for AA was N/A(0) (95% CI NA, p = 0.077, χ2 = 3.12, power = 0.989, Bonferroni corrected p = 0.231), for AT 0.816 (95% CI 0.43-1.53, p = 0.528, χ2 = 0.40, power = 0.782, Bonferroni corrected p = 1.000), and for TT 0.948 (95% CI 0.50-1.82, p = 0.872, χ2 = 0.03, power = 0.509, Bonferroni corrected p = 0.509). The genotype, allele frequencies of the GSTM1, GSTT1 and FTO genes and statistical analysis of the patients and controls are also shown in Table 2.
