Whole-genome re-sequencing for the identification of high contribution susceptibility gene variants in patients with type 2 diabetes

Abstract: There is increasing evidence that several genes are associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D); genome-wide association investigations and whole-genome re-sequencing investigations offer a useful approach for the identification of genes involved in common human diseases. To further investigate which polymorphisms confer susceptibility to T2D, the present study screened for high-contribution susceptibility gene variants Chinese patients with T2D using whole-genome re-sequencing with DNA pooling.… Show more

“…This variant is present with a rare allele in one patient with MODY, but after validation it was not confirmed. Nevertheless, we tested this SNV in our groups because it had been found in patients with DM2 and seemed interesting [ 15 ]. In the DM2 group, a heterozygous rs806052 variant was identified in one male patient without a family history of diabetes mellitus.…”

“…No variants were found in the GCK gene. On the other hand, screening the HN-F1A gene sequences revealed six variants: three missenses and three synonymous variants (Table 1) [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

“…However, a limitation of this study was the insufficient sample size or different frequencies of different susceptible genes in different populations [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Therefore, further verification and improvement are needed in this regard.…”
