Abstract:
PURPOSE:The 276G>T polymorphism of the adiponectin (ADIPOQ) gene has been correlated with plasma adiponectin, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its complications. Studies of the role of 276G>T polymorphism in the prevalence of T2D kidney disease are few and contradictory; ethnic differences might play a role. We aimed to assess the relationship of this polymorphism with albuminuria in a cohort of Caucasian T2D patients. METHODS:Consecutive T2D outclinic patients were screened and included upon informed consent; exclusion criteria were glomerular filtration rate (GFR)<30 ml/min, acute intercurrent illness and urinary tract infection. History, standard laboratory evaluation, total plasma adiponectin and genotyping for the 276 ADIPOQ locus were obtained. RESULTS:One hundred and three T2D patients were included. Forty-three (41.7%) of them had GG genotype, 50 (48.5%) had GT and 10 (9.7%) had TT genotype. Plasma adiponectin was significantly higher in TT-allele carriers (19.03±3.46 μg/ml) than in GT (10.14±1.78 μg/ml) and GG carriers (8.71±1.60 μg/ml), P=0.003. Adiponectin was higher in albuminuric (13.97±2.07 μg/ml) than in normoalbuminuric patients (6.91±0.88 μg/ml), P=0.004. The prevalence of T allele was higher in normoalbuminuric patients [36 (69.2%) GT+TT carriers] than in albuminuric ones [24 (47.1%)], P=0.02. Logistic regression identified the following as predictors of albuminuria: GG genotype: P=0.003 (OR 4.2; CI 1.61-10.96); low GFR: P=0.003 (OR 0.97; CI 0.95-0.99); and high plasma adiponectin: P=0.012 (OR 1.07; CI 1.01-1.14). CONCLUSIONS:Our data suggest that 276G>T polymorphism of the ADIPOQ gene is associated with plasma adiponectin levels. By influencing adiponectinemia, 276G>T polymorphism might predict the presence of albuminuria in Caucasian T2D patients.
