Amino acid variants of the vitamin D-binding protein and risk of diabetes in white Americans of European origin

Abstract: Background: Genetic variants of vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) have been reported to be associated, not only with diabetes, but also with prediabetic traits, in several populations. There are two known polymorphisms in exon 11 of the DBP gene that result in amino acid variants: at codons 416 GAT → GAG (Asp→Glu) and 420 ACG → AAG (Thr → Lys). Objective: To examine the association of these polymorphisms with diabetes in white Americans of European origin. Methods: We studied unrelated individuals: 181 with type… Show more

“…Significant associations between DBP and T2DM were found in the Asian population 1115 16 In Caucasians, however, similar conclusions were not found 12–14. So it is possible for us to believe that the effect of variations of DBP on the development of T2DM is peculiar to the Asian population, which is identical to the conclusion of our meta-analysis, in which results of the subgroup analysis showed that individuals carrying the Lys allele or Lys/Thr+Lys/Lys, Lys/Thr genotypes had more risk for T2DM in the Asian population.…”

“…Haplotypes carried by each study individual were inferred by the method of gene counting (16,17). Under the assumptions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and random mating, this iterative procedure yields maximum likelihood estimates of haplotype frequencies in the study population based on the joint distribution of two polymorphic markers.…”

“…Numerous studies focused on VDR SNPs but only few on other genes of the vitamin D pathway [56,57,67,74,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99]. Table 4 presents a summary of association studies for SNPs within the genes CYP2R1 [57,88], CYP27B1 [57,90,91,93], DBP [96,97] as well as cubilin [99] and T1D.…”

“…While the rs7041 SNP results in a T to G substitution (Aps to Glu in codon 416), rs4588 SNP leads to a C to G substitution (threonine to lysine in codon 420). The majority of the studies including the SNPs rs4588 and rs7041 and rs2282679 SNP failed to prove an association with T1D [57,67,89,94,95,98]. Two studies, however, originating from the same laboratory showed an association with rs7041 SNP and T1D [96,97].…”
