Mitochondrial haplogroups are not associated with diabetic retinopathy in a large Australian and British Caucasian sample

Abstract: Mitochondrial haplogroups H1, H2 and UK have previously been reported to be associated with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in Caucasian patients with diabetes. We aimed to replicate this finding with a larger sample and expand the analysis to include different severities of DR, and diabetic macular edema (DME). Caucasian participants (n = 2935) with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes from the Australian Registry of Advanced Diabetic Retinopathy were enrolled in this study. Twenty-two mitochondrial sing… Show more

“…73 A larger more recent study looking at the same haplotypes failed to show that association. 74 Another genetic study evaluated patients with type 2 diabetes who were carriers of the HMGA1 rs139876191 variant. Patients with this variant had a significantly lower risk of developing PDR compared with noncarrier diabetic patients.…”

“…This indicates an association between retinopathy and haplogroups of the macrohaplogroup R (H, J, T, and UK). However, two more statistically powerful studies failed to find similar associations (41,42).…”

“…Thus, mtDNA has many effects, including adaptive mechanisms to deal with environmental changes and mechanisms related to cellular physiology, growth characteristics and inflammatory systems. All the abovementioned actions have a great impact on a broad range of metabolic and degenerative diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, and aging, which are related to polymorphisms and mutations in these genes [11][12][13][14].…”
