[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Several studies have identified nearly 40 different type 2 diabetes susceptibility loci, mainly in European populations, but few of them have been evaluated in the Mexican population. The aim of this study was to examine the extent to which 24 common genetic variants previously associated with type 2 diabetes are associated in Mexican Mestizos. Twenty-four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in or near genes (KCNJ11, PPARG, TCF7L2, SLC30A8, HHEX, CDKN2A/2B, CDKAL1, IGF2BP2, ARHGEF11, JAZF1, CDC123/CAMK1D, FTO, TSPAN8/LGR5, KCNQ1, THADA, ADAMTS9, NOTCH2, NXPH1, RORA, UBQLNL, and RALGPS2) were genotyped in Mexican Mestizos. A case-control association study comprising 1,027 type 2 diabetic individuals and 990 control individuals was conducted. To account for population stratification, a panel of 104 ancestry-informative markers was analyzed. Association to type 2 diabetes was found for rs13266634 (SLC30A8), rs7923837 (HHEX), rs10811661 (CDKN2A/2B), rs4402960 (IGF2BP2), rs12779790 (CDC123/CAMK1D), and rs2237892 (KCNQ1). In addition, rs7754840 (CDKAL1) was associated in the nonobese type 2 diabetes subgroup, and for rs7903146 (TCF7L2), association was observed for early-onset type 2 diabetes. Lack of association for the rest of the variants may have resulted from insufficient power to detect smaller allele effects.Diabetes 08/2012; · 8.29 Impact Factor -
Article: Analysis of genomic diversity in Mexican Mestizo populations to develop genomic medicine in Mexico.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Mexico is developing the basis for genomic medicine to improve healthcare of its population. The extensive study of genetic diversity and linkage disequilibrium structure of different populations has made it possible to develop tagging and imputation strategies to comprehensively analyze common genetic variation in association studies of complex diseases. We assessed the benefit of a Mexican haplotype map to improve identification of genes related to common diseases in the Mexican population. We evaluated genetic diversity, linkage disequilibrium patterns, and extent of haplotype sharing using genomewide data from Mexican Mestizos from regions with different histories of admixture and particular population dynamics. Ancestry was evaluated by including 1 Mexican Amerindian group and data from the HapMap. Our results provide evidence of genetic differences between Mexican subpopulations that should be considered in the design and analysis of association studies of complex diseases. In addition, these results support the notion that a haplotype map of the Mexican Mestizo population can reduce the number of tag SNPs required to characterize common genetic variation in this population. This is one of the first genomewide genotyping efforts of a recently admixed population in Latin America.Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 06/2009; 106(21):8611-6. · 9.68 Impact Factor -
Article: Patterns of linkage disequilibrium in the type 2 diabetes gene calpain-10.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We investigated the patterns and extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) in the vicinity of the type 2 diabetes gene calapin-10 (CAPN10) in Mexican Americans, European Americans, African Americans, and Chinese Americans. We found that CAPN10 occurs within a single block of high LD and that LD decays rapidly outside of the gene. This reduces the likelihood that associations between CAPN10 polymorphisms and type 2 diabetes could be attributed to variation at some distance from CAPN10. We also consistently observed that cases have more extensive LD than control subjects and that cases from families with evidence for linkage have more extensive LD than cases from families without evidence for linkage. These observations further suggest that there are one or more relatively common alleles increasing risk of type 2 diabetes in this local region.Diabetes 01/2006; 54(12):3573-6. · 8.29 Impact Factor -
Article: Genetic variants in the calpain-10 gene and the development of type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Variation in the gene encoding the cysteine protease calpain-10 has been linked and associated with risk of type 2 diabetes. We have examined the effect of three polymorphisms in the calpain-10 gene (SNP-43, Indel-19, and SNP-63) on the development of type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population in a pooled analysis of 927 patients and 929 controls. We observed that SNP-43, Indel-19, and SNP-63 either individually or as a haplotype were not associated with altered risk of type 2 diabetes with the exception of the rare 111/221 haplogenotype (odds ratio (OR) =3.53, P=0.02). However, stratification based on the median age-at-diagnosis in the pooled study population (<50 and > or =50 years) revealed that allele 2 of Indel-19 and the 121 haplotype were associated with reduced risk in patients with later age-at-diagnosis (age-at-diagnosis > or =50 years OR=0.82 and 0.80, respectively; P=0.04 and 0.02). Thus, variation in the calpain-10 gene may affect risk of type 2 diabetes in Japanese, especially in older individuals.Journal of Human Genetics 01/2005; 50(2):92-8. · 2.57 Impact Factor -
Article: Association of the calpain-10 gene with type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Mexican population.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Variation in the calpain-10 gene (CAPN10) has been associated with risk of type 2 diabetes in the Mexican American population of Starr County, Texas. We typed five polymorphisms in the calpain-10 gene (SNP-43, -43, -63, and -110 and Indel-19) to test for association with type 2 diabetes in 248 individuals representative of the mestizo population of Mexico City and Orizaba, Mexico including 134 patients with type 2 diabetes and 114 subjects with normal fasting blood glucose levels. We found a significant difference in SNP-44 allele and genotype frequencies between type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. The rare allele at SNP-44 was associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes (odds ratio (OR)=2.72, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.16-6.35, P=0.017). SNP-110, which is in perfect linkage disequilibrium with SNP-44, was also associated with type 2 diabetes. The SNP-43, Indel-19, and SNP-63 haplogenotype 112/121 associated with significantly increased risk (OR=2.16, 95% CI=1.31-3.57) of type 2 diabetes in Mexican Americans was not associated with significantly increased in risk in Mexicans (OR=1.15, 95% CI=0.57-2.34). The results suggest that variation in CAPN10 affects risk of type 2 diabetes in the mestizo population of central Mexico (Mexico City and Orizaba) and in Mexican Americans (Starr County, Texas).Molecular Genetics and Metabolism 03/2004; 81(2):122-6. · 3.19 Impact Factor -

Article: Association of the calpain-10 gene with type 2 diabetes in Europeans: results of pooled and meta-analyses.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We conducted pooled and meta-analyses of the association of the calpain-10 gene (CAPN10) polymorphisms SNP-43, Indel-19 and SNP-63 individually and as haplotypes with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in 3237 patients and 2935 controls of European ancestry. In the pooled analyses, the common SNP-43*G allele was associated with modest but statistically significant increased risk of T2D (odds ratio (OR)=1.11 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.02-1.20), P=0.01). Two haplotype combinations were associated with increased risk of T2D (1-2-1/1-2-1, OR=1.20 (1.03-1.41), P=0.02; and 1-1-2/1-2-1, OR=1.26 (1.01-1.59), P=0.04) and one with decreased risk (1-1-1/2-2-1, OR=0.86 (0.75-0.99), P=0.03). The meta-analysis also showed a significant effect of the 1-2-1/1-2-1 haplogenotype on risk (OR=1.25 (1.05-1.50), P=0.01). However, there was evidence for heterogeneity with respect to this effect (P=0.06). The heterogeneity appeared to be due to data sets in which the cases were selected from samples used in linkage studies of T2D. Using only the population-based case-control samples removed the heterogeneity (P=0.89) and strengthened the evidence for association with T2D in both the pooled (SNP-43*G, OR=1.19 (1.07-1.32), P=0.001; 1-2-1/1-2-1 haplogenotype, OR=1.46 (1.19-1.78), P=0.0003; 1-1-2/1-2-1 haplogenotype, OR=1.52 (1.12-2.06), P=0.007; and 1-1-1/2-2-1 haplogenotype, OR=0.83 (0.70-0.99), P=0.03) and the meta-analysis (SNP-43*G, OR=1.18 (1.05-1.32), P=0.005; 1-2-1/1-2-1 haplogenotype, OR=1.68 (1.33-2.11), P=0.00001). The pooled and meta-analyses as well as the linkage disequilibrium and haplotype diversity studies suggest a role for genetic variation in CAPN10 affecting risk of T2D in Europeans.Molecular Genetics and Metabolism 89(1-2):174-84. · 3.19 Impact Factor
