Apolipoprotein A-I gene polymorphism and susceptibility of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 1985

M Buraczynska, and J Hanzlik, and M Grzywa

A polymorphic DNA sequence of the apolipoprotein (apo) A-I gene region was studied in relation to non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). We have examined 100 patients with NIDDM and 100 control subjects as well. The presence of a unique 2.5-kilobase (kb) EcoRI fragment was found in 13 diabetic patients and two control subjects with family history of diabetes. There were six homozygotes and nine heterozygotes among them. The analysis of clinical data did not confirm any linkage between the presence of a 2.5-kb fragment and atherosclerosis. These findings suggest that the observed defect in the apo A-I gene region may confer susceptibility to NIDDM.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008075 Lipoproteins, HDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (4-13 nm) and dense (greater than 1.063 g/ml) particles. HDL lipoproteins, synthesized in the liver without a lipid core, accumulate cholesterol esters from peripheral tissues and transport them to the liver for re-utilization or elimination from the body (the reverse cholesterol transport). Their major protein component is APOLIPOPROTEIN A-I. HDL also shuttle APOLIPOPROTEINS C and APOLIPOPROTEINS E to and from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during their catabolism. HDL plasma level has been inversely correlated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
