Abstract
BACKGROUND
A high-glucose load in therapy can cause new-onset diabetes (NOD) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. Genetic variability may result in risk modulation.
OBJECTIVES
This study aims to investigate the association between -55C/T polymorphism of uncoupling protein 3 (UCP3) gene and the risk of NOD in PD patients.
METHODS
Nondiabetic incident PD patients between May 2005 and January 2017 were recruited (n = 154). -55C/T polymorphism of the UCP3 was genotyped in all participants at baseline. The cohort of wild group (-55CC) and mutant group (-55CT or -55TT) was built based on the genotypic difference. Insulin resistance was evaluated by the homeostasis model assessment method (HOMA-IR) during the follow-up. Binary logistic regression was performed to explore the association between HOMA-IR and genotypes. Competitive risk analysis was used to analyze the impact of -55C/T polymorphism of UCP3 on risk for NOD.
RESULTS
The cohort was followed for up to 164.6 months (median: 58.3 months; interquartile range: 30.7 months). During the follow-up, 14 NODs occurred in the mutant group, while only 3 occurred in the wild group. Patients in the mutant group had higher HOMA-IR (Odd ratio: 2.210; 95% CI: 1.043-4.680; p = 0.038). Genotype with the variant T allele turned out to be an independent predictor for NOD morbidity (HR: 7.639; 95% CI: 1.798-32.451; p = 0.006).
CONCLUSIONS
The variant of T allele of UCP3 -55C/T polymorphism was an independent predictor for NOD in PD patients. Early identification of the genotype may provide scientific basis for patients' clinic management.
