[PMID: 37327085 PMCID: PMC10847719 DOI: 10.1093/jmcb/mjad040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 03/12/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023] Open
Abstract
A small fraction of patients diagnosed with obesity or diabetes mellitus has an underlying monogenic cause. Here, we constructed a targeted gene panel consisting of 83 genes reported to be causative for monogenic obesity or diabetes. We performed this panel in 481 patients to detect causative variants and compared these results with whole-exome sequencing (WES) data available for 146 of these patients. The coverage of targeted gene panel sequencing was significantly higher than that of WES. The diagnostic yield in patients sequenced by the panel was 32.9% with subsequent WES leading to three additional diagnoses with two novel genes. In total, 178 variants in 83 genes were detected in 146 patients by targeted sequencing. Three of the 178 variants were missed by WES, although the WES-only approach had a similar diagnostic yield. For the 335 samples only receiving targeted sequencing, the diagnostic yield was 32.2%. In conclusion, taking into account the lower costs, shorter turnaround time, and higher quality of data, targeted sequencing is a more effective screening method for monogenic obesity and diabetes compared to WES. Therefore, this approach could be routinely established and used as a first-tier test in clinical practice for specific patients.

Braz J Med Biol Res 2022; 55:e11920. [PMID: 35293553 PMCID: PMC8922550 DOI: 10.1590/1414-431x2022e11920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2021] [Accepted: 01/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Vocal fold leukoplakia (VFL) has a risk of malignant transformation. Therefore, patients can have symptoms such as dysphonia, vocal strain, difficulty breathing, and dysphagia. Additionally, there is a genetic predisposition that can be associated with genetic polymorphisms. We aimed to evaluate the influence of genetic polymorphisms and protein levels in the etiology of VFL. Our study followed the PRISMA checklist and was registered on PROSPERO database. The questions were: "Are genetic polymorphisms involved in the etiology of VFL? Are protein levels altered in patients with VFL?". Eligibility criteria were case control studies that compared the presence of polymorphisms or/and protein levels of subjects diagnosed with VFL and healthy controls. Of the 905 articles retrieved, five articles with a total of 1038 participants were included in this study. The C allele of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP)-819 T/C IL-10, A allele of the SNP -592 A/C IL-10, CT genotype of the SNP rs11886868 C/T BCL11A, GG genotype of the SNP rs4671393 A/G BCL11A, LL genotype, and L allele of (GT)n repeat polymorphisms of the HO-1 were risk factors for VFL development. Nevertheless, there was a lack of association between VFL and the -1082 A/G IL-10, rs14024 CK-1, and -309 T/G Mdm2 SNPs. The concentrations of the MDM2, BCL11A, and HO-1 proteins were modified, while IL-10 levels were normally expressed in these subjects. In conclusion, most markers evaluated in this review could be potential indicators to develop effective therapies, avoiding a malignant transformation of the lesion.

Huda N, Yasmin T, Nabi AHMN. MNS16A VNTR polymorphism of human telomerase gene: Elucidation of a gender specific potential allele associated with type 2 diabetes in Bangladeshi population. J Diabetes Complications 2021; 35:108018. [PMID: 34404572 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdiacomp.2021.108018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2021] [Revised: 07/11/2021] [Accepted: 08/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a multifactorial disorder that affects multi-organ and can alter telomerase (encoded by hTERT gene) activity and thus, may affect telomere length. The variable number of tandem repeats MNS16A in hTERT gene facilitates extension of telomeres by regulating telomerase. In the present study, genetic analysis of MNS16A tandem repeats in hTERT gene was performed with the aim of finding out any association of allelic and genotypic variations with the risk of T2D in Bangladeshi population. METHODS A total of unrelated 395 individuals with T2D and 247 healthy individuals were included in the study. The genotypic and allelic frequencies were determined using allele specific polymerase chain reaction. The association of allelic and genotypic frequencies with risk of T2D was analyzed using logistic regression analysis on the basis of odds ratio at 95% confidence interval. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) test was performed to evaluate the uniformity of the genotypic frequencies and deviation from the HWE was tested using Chi-square test. RESULTS Logistic regression analyses revealed significant association of short allele containing 243 bp (OR: 1.37 and p = 0.03) with T2D, when the long alleles (commonly found) were considered as reference. The heterozygous genotype 272/302 was significantly associated with the decreased risk of T2D (OR: 0.33, p = 0.001). The combined results of genotypes indicated that the MNS16A polymorphism was significantly associated with the increased risk of T2D under the dominant model (LL vs SL + SS; OR: 2.62, p < 0.0001). Interestingly, short allele 243 was associated with the risk of disease only in male population (OR: 1.62, p = 0.02). The genotype 272/302 was also found to be associated with the decreased risk of T2D when respective data for male was analyzed individually. CONCLUSIONS We have identified four variable number of tandem repeats with varying patterns of association with T2D in Bangladeshi population and to extend our knowledge of understanding regarding these VNTRs, further large-scale studies are warranted.

Effects of high fat diets and supplemental tart cherry and fish oil on obesity and type 2 diabetes in male and female C57BL/6J and TALLYHO/Jng mice. J Nutr Biochem 2021; 94:108644. [PMID: 33838231 DOI: 10.1016/j.jnutbio.2021.108644] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2020] [Revised: 01/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Obesogenic and diabetogenic high fat (HF) diets can influence genetic factors in disease development with sexual dimorphic responses. We investigated potential protective effects of tart cherry (TC), fish oil (FO) and TC+FO supplementation in TALLYHO/Jng (TH) and C57BL/6J (B6) mice fed HF diets. Male and female TH and B6 mice were weaned onto five different diets; low fat (LF), HF, and HF supplemented with TC, FO, or TC+FO and maintained. For both males and females on LF, TH mice were heavier and fatter than B6, which was accentuated by HF in males, but not in females. TH males, but not others, developed severe glucose intolerance and hyperglycemia on HF, with reduced mRNA levels of Adipoq and Esr1 in adipose tissue. Considering energy balance, locomotor activity was lower in TH mice than B6 for both sexes without diet effects, except B6 females where HF decreased it. Compared to LF, HF decreased energy expenditure, RER, and food intake (in grams) for both sexes without strain differences. In all mice, but B6 males, HF increased plasma IL6 levels compared to LF. No preventive effects of TC, FO or TC+FO were noted for HF-induced obesity or energy imbalance, but FO alleviated glucose intolerance in TH males. Further, TC and FO decreased plasma IL6 levels, especially in females, without additive or synergistic effects of these two. Collectively, obesogenic and diabetogenic impacts of HF diets differed depending on the genetic predisposition. Moreover, sexually dimorphic effects of dietary supplementation were observed for glucose metabolism and inflammatory markers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes has been found to be one of the leading comorbidities associated with fatality in COVID-19 patients. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) entry is facilitated by interaction with Angiotensin Converting Enzyme-2 (ACE2) and possible polymorphisms in ACE2 can be a determining factor in host-viral protein interaction. A significant shift of healthcare towards 'Telemedicine' is also on the rise. In this review, the possible effects of ACE2 polymorphisms on SARS-CoV-2 entry along with the escalation of 'telemedicine' is discussed. METHOD An expansive literature search using keywords: "COVID-19", "SARS-CoV-2", "diabetes", "type 2 diabetes'', "type 1 diabetes", "ACE2", "polymorphism", "DPP4" and "telemedicine" was conducted on Pubmed and EMBASE till 7th August 2020. RESULT Possible polymorphisms in ACE2 gene can play a role in influencing the virus entry in host body. Telemedicine can bring a new revolution for medical sector. CONCLUSION COVID-19 severity is more heinous among diabetic population. So far, the in-silico studies involving human ACE2-viral Spike (S) interaction showed inconsistent predictions regarding some SNPs. But without actual in-vivo studies, a holistic understanding can't be established.
