Genetic Variants of PTPN2 Gene in Chinese Children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

BackgroundSeveral studies have reported the association of PTPN2 gene with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in many populations but not in the Chinese Han population. Therefore, the goal of our study was to replicate the reported association between 2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs478582 and rs2542151) in the PTPN2 gene and T1DM in Chinese Han children.Material/MethodsThis case-control study included 141 Chinese Han children with T1DM and 282 healthy controls. Genetic variants of rs478582 and rs2542151 in PTPN2 gene were performed by PCR amplification followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism method.ResultsNo difference was observed in association of rs478582 in The PTPN2 gene and T1DM. The distribution of allele frequency of rs2542151 differed significantly between T1DM patients and healthy controls (OR, 0.6; 95%CI: 0.44 to 0.95; and P=0.024). Dominant model of rs254215 also was associated with T1DM (OR, 0.6; 95%CI: 0.40 to 0.96; and P=0.032). Younger age at onset in G carriers appeared to increase the risk for T1DM (P=0.030).ConclusionsThe findings suggested that rs2542151 SNP in The PTPN2 gene was associated with T1DM in Chinese Han children. Further studies with larger sample sizes involving gene-gene interactions are urgently needed.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 promotes the proliferation and odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp cells under high glucose conditions

“…Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a severe chronic disease that markedly affects the health and life quality of individuals (6). DM is a multi-organ and multi-factorial metabolic disease that is characterized by absolute or relative deficiency in insulin secretion, insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction, which may ultimately lead to hyperglycemia (7)(8)(9). DM is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide (10).…”

Functional informed genome‐wide interaction analysis of body mass index, diabetes and colorectal cancer risk

“…PTPN2 gene encodes the T-cell-specific protein tyrosine phosphatase, and functions as a negative regulator of inflammation by inhibiting the transcription factor STAT1 in the IFN-γ signaling pathway. 31 Previous studies demonstrated that several variants located in PTPN2 were significantly associated with inflammatory bowel disease, 32 celiac disease, 33 rheumatoid arthritis 34 and diabetes. 35 A recent study identified the dual role for PTPN2 in directly regulating inflammasome activation and IL-1β production to suppress pro-inflammatory responses during colitis but promote intestinal tumor development.…”

Research Article The IL18 rs1946518 and PTPN22 rs2476601 polymorphisms are not associated with adult- and childhood-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus

“…Relatively few studies have focused on late-onset T1DM, particularly in adults. Some studies found association between the rs1893217 in PTPN2 and rs2542151 near PTPN2 with T1D risk, especially an earlier T1D onset (Espino-Paisan et al, 2011a, Peng et al, 2015. The GWAS-derived GRS (genetic risk score) significantly predicted T1D risk and was associated with age in a Chinese population (Zhu et al, 2019).…”
