ObjectiveTo determine the association of PPARγ rs1801282 polymorphism in T2DM and DN in south Indian population. MethodsWe have conducted a case–control study to test the association of rs1801282 polymorphism with T2DM and DN in 424 subjects (DN=128; T2DM=148 and controls=148) belonging to the south Indian population using ARMS-PCR and Sanger sequencing method. Further, a meta-analysis was performed for rs1801282 polymorphism from the published literature retrieved from various electronic databases to determine the susceptibility among T2DM and DN across various ethnic populations under five genetic models. ResultsThe genotyping of rs1801282 polymorphism showed significant (p-value<0.05) association with DN and T2DM compared to controls. In the meta-analysis, no significant association (p-value>0.05) was noticed for rs1801282 with DN vs. controls in homozygote, heterozygote, allelic, recessive and dominant genetic models. However, a significant association was observed between rs1801282 SNP and T2DM under heterozygote (Jj vs JJ) genetic model with OR=0.56, (95%CI [0.43–0.74]), p≤0.0001 of Asian and Caucasian populations. ConclusionOverall analysis suggests that the rs1801282 polymorphism might be associated with DN and T2DM. More case–control studies on the PPARγ gene with a larger sample size including all the confounding factors are required to corroborate the findings from this meta-analysis. ER -
