Analysis of Polymorphisms at the Adiponectin Gene Locus in Association with Type 2 Diabetes, Body Mass Index and Cardiovascular Traits in Latvian PopulationDespite the number of recently conducted studies seeking to determine the association between genetic variants of adiponectin gene and susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D) and increased body mass index (BMI), the results obtained are often inconsistent. To determine the impact of common polymorphisms in promoter and coding regions of adiponectin gene on these conditions in Latvian population, we selected ten SNPs (rs2241767, rs1501299, rs3777261, rs16861210, rs2241766, rs822396, rs182052, rs17300539, rs16861194, rs266729) based on haploblock structure and previously reported association studies. The selected SNPs were screened in a study group of 835 participants from the Genome Data Base of Latvian Population and mainly consisted of patients with T2D and coronary heart disease. None of the individual polymorphisms were significantly associated with T2D status or BMI when analysed using logistic or linear regression and adjusted for gender, age and other significant covariates. Frequency of rs2241766 T allele homozygotes however was significantly increased in T2D patients compared to controls (uncorrected P = 0.007). When analysed with other traits, the rs182052 G allele was found to be less frequent in patients suffering from myocardial infarction (P = 0.02; OR = 0.76, CI95% [0.61-0.92]) compared to others. Haplotype analysis revealed significant association of one haplotype with atrial fibrillation (uncorrected P = 0.01). In summary, we conclude that SNPs in adiponectin gene are unlikely to represent the risk for T2D, but may be involved in pathogenesis of CHD in the Latvian population.

Objective To assess the impact of a group medical clinic designed for patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension on body mass index. Methods Using data from a randomized trial of 239 veterans with type 2 diabetes mellitus, we performed a secondary analysis using analysis of covariance mixed models to explore the effect of a 12-month group medical clinic intervention on change in body mass index vs. usual care. In an exploratory subgroup analysis, we compared change in body mass index between treatment arms stratified by whether patients had >0.5% reduction in hemoglobin A1c at 12 months. Results Baseline body mass index was 33.5 kg/m2. At 12 months, there was no significant difference in change in body mass index between treatment arms (estimate=−0.02, 95% CI −0.51 to 5.05; P = 0.94); body mass index increased by approximately 0.20 points in both groups. There was also no significant difference in change in body mass index between treatment arms by whether or not patients had >0.5% reduction in hemoglobin A1c (estimate=−0.14, 95% CI −1.21 to −0.92; P = 0.79). Discussion Improved glycemic control was not associated with improved body mass index in the group medical clinic intervention. Given their positive effects on other outcomes, group medical clinics for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus may be more beneficial if focus is shifted towards weight loss.

Abstract Increased levels of IL-6 add further risk to the impact of obesity in respect to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A C-174G polymorphism within the IL-6 promoter region was shown to influence transcription rate of IL-6. We made use of a nested case-control study within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Potsdam cohort of 27,548 individuals, selecting 188 T2DM cases and 376 controls to investigate this polymorphism in respect to development of T2DM. This polymorphism was found to modify the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and IL-6 by showing a much stronger increase of IL-6 at increased BMI for CC genotypes compared with GG genotypes. Interestingly, C-174G polymorphism was found to be an effect modifier for the impact of BMI regarding T2DM. Whereas BMI greater than or equal to 28 kg/m2 increased the risk of T2DM 3.44-fold [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.34- to 8.24-fold] for GG genotypes and 2.94-fold (95% CI, 1.56- to 5.56-fold) for GC genotypes, we found a 17.68-fold (95% CI, 3.57- to 87.66-fold) increase in risk for CC genotypes. In conclusion, obese individuals with BMI greater than or equal to 28 kg/m2 carrying the CC genotype showed a more than 5-fold increased risk of developing T2DM compared with the remaining genotypes and, hence, might profit most from weight reduction.
