Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether specific genetic polymorphisms affect the response to intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) treatment in patients with macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO). METHODS Participants in this prospective study were 50 patients with macular oedema secondary to RVO, who were treated with intravitreal ranibizumab or aflibercept, and were followed-up for 12 months after initiation of treatment. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from three different genes (APOE, PON1, SDF-1) were examined as potential predictors for treatment response to intravitreal anti-VEGF agents. RESULTS Patients with the LL genotype of the PON1 L55M SNP had significantly higher reduction in central subfield thickness (CST) at month 12 after initiation of intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment (101.63 ± 56.80 μm in LL vs. 72.44 ± 39.41 μm in LM vs. 40.25 ± 19.33 μm in MM, p = .026). Patients with the M allele of the PON1 L55M SNP were significantly associated with lower reduction in CST compared to non-carriers (68.29 ± 38.77 μm in LM + MM vs. 101.63 ± 56.80 μm in LL, p = .032). CONCLUSION PON1 L55M SNP may serve as a promising genetic biomarker for predicting response to intravitreal anti-VEGF treatment in patients with macular oedema due to RVO.

Huang Q, Feng D, Pan L, Wang H, Wu Y, Zhong B, Gong J, Lin H, Fei X. Plasma thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor and the 1040C/T polymorphism are risk factors for diabetic kidney disease in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. PeerJ 2023; 11:e16352. [PMID: 38025709 PMCID: PMC10655703 DOI: 10.7717/peerj.16352] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Accepted: 10/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Inflammatory and hemostatic disorders in diabetic microangiopathy (DMA) can be linked to thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) and its own gene polymorphisms. Thus, the study aimed to investigate the associations of plasma TAFI and gene polymorphisms with DMA in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Plasma TAFI of 223 patients with T2D was measured, and the genotypes and alleles of the 1040C/T, 438G/A, and 505G/A polymorphisms of the TAFI gene were analyzed. A ROC curve was constructed to evaluate the identifying power of TAFI between patients with T2D and DMA, and logistic regression analysis was used to observe the correlation of plasma TAFI and gene polymorphisms with the risk for DMA. Results Plasma TAFI was higher in patients with DMA than in patients with only T2D (p < 0.05). TAFI exhibited the largest area under ROC in identifying diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from only T2D (0.763, 95% CI [0.674-0.853], p < 0.01), and adjusted multivariate analysis showed a high odds ratio (OR: 15.72, 95% CI [4.573-53.987], p < 0.001) for DKD. Higher frequencies of the CT genotype and T allele of the 1040C/T polymorphism were found in DKD compared with only T2D (respectively p < 0.05), and the CT genotype exhibited a high OR (1.623, 95% CI [1.173-2.710], p < 0.05) for DKD. DKD patients with the CT genotype had higher plasma TAFI levels, while T2D and DKD patients with CC/TT genotypes had lower plasma TAFI levels. Conclusion Plasma TAFI and the CT genotype and T allele of the 1040C/T polymorphism are independent risk factors for DKD in Chinese T2D patients.

Abstract
Objective: To examine concentration of Paraoxonase 1 enzymes across both Sudanese patients suffering from Type-I and Type-II diabetes. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study done in Khartoum/Sudan during the period from June 24th 2018 to August 23, 2018. One hundred seven diabetic patients (40 T1DM and 67 T2DM) compared with 45 healthy people from both genders. Biochemical parameters include PON1, FBG, HbA1C, and lipids were done and compared between study groups. Results: PON1 was reduced in patients than controls (P < 0.01), in addition PON1 was lower in T1DM than T2DM (P < 0.01), moreover, FBG, HbA1c and lipids was higher in diabetes than controls (P < 0.05). PON1 inversely correlated with LDL and apo B in T1DM (P < 0.01) and T2DM (P < 0.05), in addition PON1 correlated with HDL and apo A1 in T1DM (P < 0.01), inversely correlated with LDL in T2DM (P < 0.05) and with apo A1 in T2DM (P < 0.01). Moreover, PON1 inversely correlated with diabetes duration in T1DM (P < 0.01) and T2DM (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Sudanese T1DM and T2DM have a lower PON1 concentration than healthy subjects, T1DM have lower level of PON1 than T2DM. PON1 was inversely correlated with bad lipids and duration of diabetes, but it has positive correlation with good lipids.
