Impact of glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1) polymorphisms in Turkish patients with metabolic syndrome

Abstract: The presence of homozygote polymorphic variant of BclI might be good predictive markers for the disease susceptibility. The BclI and the TthIII1 polymorphism are associated with sex-specific clinical parameters. Our findings also suggest that the combination of BclI and TthIII1 polymorphisms may play a protective role in blood glucose.

“…Likewise, it was recently reported in a Turkish population that the frequency of N363S G allele carriers was 0.5% [29]. In contrast to our results, in Europe, the frequency of carrying at least one G allele of the N363S polymorphism was reported to range from 4% to 9% [26,28], highlighting the ethnic factors in its carriage.…”

“…The differences between our results and those of Marino et al [24] may be due to ethnic and genetic differences. Both N363S and BclI polymorphisms are known to make patients more prone to the side effects of the GCs [28,29,30,31]. The effects of GR gene mutations and polymorphisms on treatment success and drug resistance were also recently investigated and controversial results were obtained [3,20,21,26].…”

“…Allele frequencies were calculated from genotype data as it is given in Table 2, and it is revealed that the polymorphic allele frequency is significantly higher in patients than in controls (51.8% and 37.8%, respectively) (p=0.010). Polymorphic allele frequency of our healthy group (0.378) is similar to previous data from Turkish population [14], and close to European population data [13]. There were no significant correlations found between genotype frequencies and clinical variables of the patients ( Table 3).…”

“…It is 0.297 in our healthy group and slightly lower than European data. On the other hand, polymorphic allele frequency is close to our previous data from Turkish individuals [14].…”
