Interleukin-4 Gene Intron 3 VNTR Polymorphism in Type 2 Diabetes Patients with Peripheral Neuropathy.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of late complications of diabetes mellitus. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in intron 3 of interleukin-4 gene and risk of DPN. METHODS:We examined 926 T2DM patients and 420 healthy controls. In the patient group, 44% had DPN. Genomic DNA was isolated from all subjects and genotyped for the IL-4 VNTR polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS:No significant difference was observed in the frequency of minor P1 allele between T2DM patients and controls (OR 1.00, 95% CI 0.81-1.23, p = 0.988). The distribution of IL-4 VNTR polymorphism was compared between patients with DPN and those without it. The polymorphism was not significantly associated with DPN in studied subjects. In comparison of 406 T2DM patients with DPN and 520 patients without it, the OR (95% CI) for P1 allele was 0.82 (0.65-1.04), p = 0.10 and for P1P1 genotype 1.00 (0.53-1.89), p = 0.991. When two subgroups of patients with DPN, those with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and without CVD, were compared, subgroup with coexisting CVD had significantly higher frequency of P1 allele than patients without CVD, with odds ratio for the P1 allele 3.27 (95% CI 1.83-5.83), p = 0.0001. CONCLUSION:Our results demonstrated that VNTR polymorphism in the IL-4 gene is associated with DPN in type 2 diabetes patients with coexisting CVD.
