Haplotypes in theCRPGene Associated with Increased BMI and Levels of CRP in Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes or Obesity from Southwestern Mexico

Abstract: Objective. We evaluated the association between four polymorphisms in the CRP gene with circulating levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, and risk score of coronary heart disease. Methods. We studied 402 individuals and classified them into four groups: healthy, obese, T2D obese, and T2D without obesity, from Guerrero, Southwestern Mexico. Blood levels of CRP, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and leukocytes were measured. Genotyping was performed by PCR/RFLP, and the risk scor… Show more

“…This is an important topic because CRP levels may be related to CRP gene mutations. Previous studies demonstrated that CRP levels were associated with different CRP alleles and haploids . Our study showed that CRP levels were similar with and without CRP gene polymorphism.…”

“…performed a large population study showing that the presence of a CRP minor allele was related to lower CRP levels in hypertensive patients. In a Mexican population, large sample studies by Martínez‐Calleja et al . showed that the CRP gene polymorphism was related to increased CRP levels and was a cardiovascular risk factor.…”

“…Y. However, Martínez-Calleja et al (2012) showed that one of these SNPs (rs1130864) is directly related to BMI, and it is also known that there exists a negative association between higher levels of BMI and HDL (Shamai et al, 2011). Hence, these 3 SNPs may not all be valid instruments for causal effect estimation of CRP protein levels on HDL.…”

“…Polymorphisms located in promoter regions, including rs2794521 (-717 A/G) of CRP gene, -572 C/G (rs1800796) of IL6 gene and -1031 T/C (rs1799964) of TNF gene, have been associated with T2DM risk [7,[9][10][11][12][13]. Several studies demonstrated a notable in uence of the rs2794521 polymorphism on CRP secretion [14][15][16].…”

“…Several studies demonstrated a notable in uence of the rs2794521 polymorphism on CRP secretion [14][15][16]. Alteration of CRP concentration may modify T2DM risk [5][6]9]. Similarly, the rs1800796 IL6 polymorphism was postulated to affect the expression of interleukin 6 [11,17] which can initiate insulin resistance and eventually T2DM [3].…”
