Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the association of CLTA-4 gene polymorphism with Type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) (T1DM and T2DM) in the Han population of northern China. METHODS A total of 234 Chinese Han DM patients and 187 non-diabetic subjects were included in the study. Two gene polymorphisms of the CLTA-4, including CTLA-4+49A/G (rs231775) and CTLA4-318C/T (rs5742909), were studied using polymerase chain reaction-restriction endonuclease fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. Chi-square analysis and Student's t-test were performed to determine the distribution of the gene polymorphism and alleles at the locus of CTLA4-318C/T and CTLA4+49A/G among T1DM and T2DM patients with or without diabetic ketosis (DK), diabetic nephropathy (DN) or autoantibodies (Ab). RESULTS Our results indicated that the distribution frequencies of genotypes and alleles at the CTLA-4+49A/G and CTLA4-318C/T loci of T1DM patients were not significantly different from those of the controls. However, the distribution frequencies of genotypes and alleles at the CTLA-4+49A/G loci of T2DM patients were significantly different from the controls (P=0.024 for genotypes and P=0.004 for A and G alleles). Besides, the A and G alleles at the CTLA4-318C/T loci of T2DM DK+ patients showed significantly different distribution frequencies compared to those of the T2DM DK patients (P=0.001). CONCLUSION Our data suggest that the gene polymorphisms of CTLA-4, including CTLA-4+49A/G and CTLA4-318C/T, are important predictors of DM. CTLA-4 may be a susceptibility gene for T2DM. Patients with T2DM carrying the T allele at the CTLA4-318 C/T locus are more predisposed to diabetic ketosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND T1DM is a chronic organ-specific T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease characterized by the selective destruction of β-cells in the islets of Langerhans, resulting in insulin deficiency and hyperglycemia. Genes for cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 have been hypothesized as possible contender genes for T1DM vulnerability. However, it has not been studied in the Ethiopian population yet. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate CTLA-4 exon 1 was linked to A49G polymorphism with T1DM and its biological features of CTLA-4 among T1DM patients, in Ethiopia. METHODS A case-control study was done from December 2019 to March 2020 on 210 study participants (105 T1DM patients and 105 healthy controls). Polymerase Chain Reaction amplification with forward and reverse primers was followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism and gel electrophoresis to determine gene polymorphism. Bioinformatics data of SNP was retrieved from National Centers for Biotechnology Information databases. The chi-square test and logistic regression were used. Statistical significance was defined as a P-value of less than 0.05. RESULTS The CTLA-4 (+A49G) gene polymorphism was observed on 56 (26.7%) study participants, 39 (18.57%) of T1DM patients, and 17 (0.08%) were controls. In T1DM and controls, the frequency of the A allele was 73.3% and 89.5%, while the G allele was 26.7% and 10.5%, respectively. The G allele was found to be associated with T1DM (OR=3.1; 95% CI, 1.82 -5.32; P=0.001). Statistical analysis revealed an association between the likelihood of T1DM and GG genotype of the CTLA-4 (+A49G) gene polymorphism (OR=3.11; 95% CI, 1.37-10.90; P=0.01). Further in silico analyzed the SNP to assess its biological features. CONCLUSION The study showed as CTLA-4 (+A49G) gene polymorphism is linked with T1DM in the Ethiopian population.

Abstract
Background
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an organ-specific T cell-mediated autoimmune disease, characterized by destruction of pancreatic islets. Cytotoxic lymphocyte antigen-4 (
CTLA-4
) is a negative regulator of T cell proliferation, thus conferring susceptibility to autoimmunity.
Aims
This study aimed to investigate the association of
CTLA-4
+49A/G (rs231775) polymorphism with a risk of T1DM in Sudanese children.
Methods
This a case–control study included 100 children with T1DM, referred to the pediatric clinic at referral pediatric teaching hospital in Gezira State-Sudan. Hundred unrelated healthy controls were recruited from departments in the same hospital. Genomic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted from Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA)-preserved blood using QIAamp DNA Blood Mini Kit (QIAamp Blood) (QIAGEN; Valencia, CA). The polymerase chain reaction PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and sequencing were applied for the
CTLA-4
(+49A/G) genotyping. The changes accompanied the polymorphism were evaluated using relevant bioinformatics tools.
Results
The genotype and allele frequencies of the
CTLA-4
(+49A/G) polymorphism were significantly different between the patients and controls (
p
= 0.00013 and 0.0002, respectively). In particular, the frequency of the G allele, GG homozygous genotype, and AG heterozygous genotype were significantly increased in patients than in controls ([28% versus 7%, odds ratio (OR) = 5.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.77–9.65,
p
= 0.00] [12% versus 2%, OR = 6.68, CI = 1.46–30.69,
p
= 0.01] [32% versus 10%, OR = 4.24, CI = 1.95–9.21,
p
= 0.00], respectively). The presence of the G allele (homozygous) showed an influence on the signal peptide polarity, hydrophobicity, and α-helix propensity of the CTLA-protein.
Conclusion
The results further support the association of
CTLA-4
(+49A/G) polymorphism and the risk of T1DM in our study population.

Abstract
CD28 and CTLA-4 are both important stimulatory receptors for the regulation of T cell activation. Because receptors share common ligands, B7.1 and B7.2, the expression and biological function of CTLA-4 is important for the negative regulation of T cell responses. Therefore, elimination of CTLA-4 can result in the breakdown of immune tolerance and the development of several diseases such as autoimmunity. Inhibitory signals of CTLA-4 suppress T cell responses and protect against autoimmune diseases in many ways. In this review, we summarize the structure, expression and signaling pathway of CTLA-4. We also highlight how CTLA-4 defends against potentially self-reactive T cells. Finally, we discuss how the CTLA-4 regulates a number of autoimmune diseases that indicate manipulation of this inhibitory molecule is a promise as a strategy for the immunotherapy of autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Type1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has a multi-factorial pathogenesis; the interplay between genetic susceptibility and environmental factors is thought to provide the fundamental element for the disease. Apart from HLA, more than 50 genetic variants are associated with T1DM. INS -23/Hph1 A>T (rs689) is one of the effective loci with inconsistent reports in the literature. Accordingly, this study was designed to define the frequencies of INS -23/Hph1 A>T polymorphism and its association with T1DM in Egyptian diabetic children and their non-diabetic family members as compared to healthy controls.
Methods
Using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methodology, analysis of insulin gene VNTR polymorphism was performed for 496 samples (91 patients, 179 parents, 130 siblings, and 96 controls); parents and siblings were apparently healthy.
Results
INS genotypes and allele frequencies were comparable between patients, non-diabetic siblings, and parents (p = 0.97 and 0.77, respectively). However, the TT/AT genotype and T allele were over-presented in the three family groups compared to controls (p = 0.0015 and 0.0029, respectively).
Comparing patients to controls, the T allele is considered a risk factor for the development of TIDM (OR 2.56, 95% CI 1.42–4.62, p = 0.0017).
INS -23/Hph1 A>T polymorphism showed concordance between patients and their mothers (Kappa = 0.446, p = 0.000) but not with their fathers (Kappa = 0.031, p = 0.765).
Conclusions
INS -23/Hph1 A>T gene polymorphism was shown to be a risk factor for the development of TIDM. This is in agreement with some and in disagreement with other reports. Studies of risk susceptibility factors have to be carried out locally in each community; results cannot be extrapolated from one ethnic group to another.

Abstract
Each functional gene illustrates the complexity of genetic predisposition to disease; however, it is difficult to bring out these traits with reference to autoimmune diseases like type 1 diabetes (T1D). To find out the genetic contribution of CTLA-4 + 49A/G, CTLA-4 -318C/T and CD28 + 17T/C polymorphisms toward T1D, the present study was performed with 124 T1D patients, 54 siblings and 125 parents including 39 trios in South Indian population. The association and linkage of CTLA-4 + 49A/G, CTLA-4 -318C/T and CD28 + 17T/C polymorphisms with T1D were analyzed and transmission disequilibrium test was performed. CTLA-4 G allele carrying genotypes (GG+AG) showed a higher risk association and can be considered as susceptible to develop T1D among patients with age at diagnosis from 0 to 10 years as compared to siblings (OR = 2.9; pc = 0.047) and parents (OR = 2.7; pc = 0.036). On the other hand, a strong protection against the disease (age at diagnosis; 0-10 years) was observed with CTLA-4 + 49AA genotype (OR = 0.37; pc = 0.036) and combined AA/CC genotype (OR = 0.31; pc = 0.034) of CTLA-4 + 49A/G and CTLA-4 -318C/T polymorphisms. However, a significant association was not observed between CTLA-4 -318C/T and CD28 + 17T/C polymorphisms and T1D. This family-based study reports a strong association between possible genotypes of CTLA-4 gene polymorphism and T1D in South Indian population, particularly in younger individuals.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic βcells. Although all T1D patients require daily administration of exogenous insulin, their insulin requirement to achieve good glycaemic control may vary significantly. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level represents a stable indicator of glycaemic control and is a reliable predictor of long-term complications of T1D. The purpose of this article is to systematically review the role of non-genetic predictors and genetic factors of HbA1c level in T1D patients after the first year of T1D, to exclude the honeymoon period. A total of 1974 articles published since January 2011 were identified and 78 were finally included in the analysis of non-genetic predictors. For genetic factors, a total of 277 articles were identified and 14 were included. The most significantly associated factors with HbA1c level are demographic (age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status), personal (family characteristics, parental care, psychological traits...) and features related to T1D (duration of T1D, adherence to treatment …). Only a few studies have searched for genetic factors influencing HbA1c level, most of which focused on candidate genes using classical genetic statistical methods, with generally limited power and incomplete adjustment for confounding factors and multiple testing. Our review shows the complexity of explaining HbA1c level variations, which involves numerous correlated predictors. Overall, our review underlines the lack of studies investigating jointly genetic and non-genetic factors and their interactions to better understand factors influencing glycaemic control for T1D patients.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a heritable disease associated with multiple genetic variants. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the correlation between cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4(CTLA-4) +49A/G polymorphisms and the risk of T1D in children. The random effects model was used to estimate the related odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was used to determine whether the currently available evidence was sufficient and conclusive. Our results indicated that CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms significantly increased the risk of childhood T1D in an allelic model (G vs. A: OR=1.33, 95%CI=1.19-1.48; I2=44.0% and P=0.001for heterogeneity) and a codominant model (GG vs. AA: OR=1.75, 95%CI=1.37-2.24; I2=57.5% and P=0.001for heterogeneity; GA vs. AA: OR=1.26, 95%CI=1.09-1.46; I2=40.4% and P=0.036for heterogeneity). Subgroup analysis results indicated that the ORs were higher in the Asian population (ORallelic model=1.60, ORGG vs. AA=2.46 and ORGA vs. AA=1.58) than the Caucasian population (ORallelic model==1.24, ORGG vs. AA=1.55 and ORGA vs. AA=1.19). The TSA results indicated that the evidence of the effect was sufficient. In conclusion, CTLA4 +49A/G polymorphisms increased the risk of T1D in children, and CTLA4 +49A/G can be considered to be a genetic marker for T1D in children.

Abstract
Leprosy, which is developed by the obligate intracellular Mycobacterium leprae (ML); has different manifestations, associated with the host immune responses. The protective immune response against ML includes T-cell-mediated immunity. The CTLA-4 has a great impact as a negative regulator of the immune response and maintenance of peripheral tolerance. This study analyzed the relationship between CTLA-4+49A/G gene polymorphism and clinical manifestation of leprosy disease and susceptibility among the Azeri population living Northwest Iran. One hundred and ninety-two leprosy patients and 185 healthy controls participated in the study. CTLA-4+49A/G genotyping was conducted via tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) analysis. The allelic and genotypic frequencies of +49A/G gene polymorphism were similar in controls and patients. However, older ages, older age of onset and over-representation in male were observed in lepromatous leprosy patient carriers of GG genotype. The current study demonstrates that although CTLA-4+49A/G polymorphism was not correlated with a higher genetic risk for leprosy, the presence of a GG genotype was associated with older ages, older age of onset and over-representation in male in Iranian Azeri population.

Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted by salting-out method. PCR amplification and direct sequencing methods were used for genotyping of CTLA4 (exon 1) and IL2RA (intron 1) genes in all patients and controls. SNPStats was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and p values. Results: In this study, the frequency of G allele and GG genotype of CTLA-4 (+49A/G) polymorphism in T1D patients were significantly different from those in the controls (26% vs. 11%, p = 0.006). Moreover, a significant difference was observed between patients and control group in the allele frequencies of the new SNP (chr2:203868145) that was identified in exon one of CTLA4 (14% vs. 3%, p = 0.006). The results showed that the GG homozygous genotype of +49 A>G was associated with increased glycemic level in T1D patients in the study population (95% CI = 10.47, p = 0.0067). However, no significant association was found between IL2RA (ss52580101C>A) polymorphism and T1D patients (2% vs. 4%, p = 0.41). Conclusion: The results further support the association of T1D with +49A>G SNP in the CTLA4 gene in the population of northwest of Iran. However, no significant relationship was observed between ss52580101C>A polymorphism of IL2RA gene and T1D in this study.

Abstract
Background Several studies have reported the association of PTPN2 gene with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in many populations but not in the Chinese Han population. Therefore, the goal of our study was to replicate the reported association between 2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs478582 and rs2542151) in the PTPN2 gene and T1DM in Chinese Han children. Material/Methods This case-control study included 141 Chinese Han children with T1DM and 282 healthy controls. Genetic variants of rs478582 and rs2542151 in PTPN2 gene were performed by PCR amplification followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Results No difference was observed in association of rs478582 in The PTPN2 gene and T1DM. The distribution of allele frequency of rs2542151 differed significantly between T1DM patients and healthy controls (OR, 0.6; 95%CI: 0.44 to 0.95; and P=0.024). Dominant model of rs254215 also was associated with T1DM (OR, 0.6; 95%CI: 0.40 to 0.96; and P=0.032). Younger age at onset in G carriers appeared to increase the risk for T1DM (P=0.030). Conclusions The findings suggested that rs2542151 SNP in The PTPN2 gene was associated with T1DM in Chinese Han children. Further studies with larger sample sizes involving gene-gene interactions are urgently needed.

Abstract
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) has an inhibitory function on T cells and is critical for the induction of peripheral tolerance. CTLA-4 +49 G allele affects the CTLA-4 function and has been reported to be correlated with a higher risk of various autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes (T1D). The present study was conducted to investigate the association between the polymorphism of the CTLA-4 exon 1+49 A/G and susceptibility to TID and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Kurds living in Iranian Kurdistan. The+49 A/G polymorphism was analyzed in 60 patients with T1D, 56 patients with T2D and 107 control subjects using PCR Single-strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) and restriction fragment length polymorphism methods. All studied populations (T1D, T2D and Controls) were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p, 0.39, 0.94 and 0.89, respectively). Both+49 G allele (p = 0. 015, OR = 1.86) and +49 A/G genotype frequencies (p = 0. 012, OR = 2.31) were significantly higher in T1D patients than control. There was significant over-representation of the G allele in female T1D patients. No significant differences in +49 G allele and +49 A/G genotype frequencies were found between T2D and control subjects. SSCP analysis did not show new mutation in the amplified segment. The results of this study indicate that CTLA-4+49 A/G gene polymorphism confers genetic susceptibility to T1D but not T2D in the Kurdish population living in Iranian Kurdistan and women carrying the +49 G allele are at greater risk of getting T1D than men having the G allele.

Abstract
In the past decade, a number of case–control studies have been carried out to investigate the relationship between the CTLA4 gene polymorphisms and type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, these studies have yielded contradictory results. To investigate this inconsistency, we performed a meta-analysis of all available studies dealing with the relationship between the CTLA4 polymorphism and T1D. In total, 58 association studies on two CTLA4 polymorphisms (G49A and C60T) and risk of T1D, including a total of 30,723 T1D cases and 45,254 controls were included. In a combined analysis, the summary per-allele odds ratio (OR) for T1D of the G49A and C60T polymorphism was 1.42 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.31–1.53, P<10−5] and 1.23 (95% CI: 1.18–1.29, P<10−5), respectively. Significant results were also observed using dominant or recessive genetic model. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity and sample size, significantly increased risks were also found for these polymorphisms. This meta-analysis demonstrated that the G49A and C60T polymorphism of CTLA4 is a risk factor associated with increased T1D susceptibility, but these associations vary in different ethnic populations.

Abstract
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4), a molecule expressed predominantly on activated T cells, plays an important role in the down-regulation of T-cell activation. To evaluate the potential effects of CTLA-4 gene polymorphisms on susceptibility to cervical cancer, we genotyped polymorphisms in CTLA-4 (- 318 T/C, CT60 G/A,+49 G/A, - 658 T/C, and - 1661 G/A) and calculated odds ratios for the genotype and allele distributions between patients and controls. We then examined the functional relevance of the polymorphisms using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), in vitro lymphocyte proliferation assay, and cytotoxic assay. The CTLA-4 - 318 CC, CT60 AA, and+49 GG genotype frequencies were lower in patients than in controls (p <0.05). The frequencies of CTLA-4 - 318 T allele and CT60G allele carriers were significantly higher in patients than in controls (p <0.05). Upon stimulation, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) carrying the - 318TT and CT60GG genotypes exhibited significantly lower proliferation, IL-2, and IL-4 levels; fewer cytolytic activities; and higher TGF-β levels compared with PBMCs carrying the - 318 CC/CT or CT60 AA/AG genotypes. We also found that CTLA-4 - 318 T/C and CT60 G/A single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with the severity of cervical cancer. These results indicate that CTLA-4 - 318 T/C and CT60 G/A can affect cervical cancer susceptibility by altering the immune status of an individual.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the contribution of cytotoxic T-Iymphocyte antigen-4(CTLA-4)+49A/G polymorphism to the susceptibility to type-1 diabetes (T1D) in Turkish children. METHODS A case-control study was designed to include 91 Turkish children with T1D and 99 healthy controls. CTLA-4 (+99A/G) gene polymorphism typing was done by PCR amplification followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism method. RESULTS The genotype and allele frequencies of the CTLA-4 (+99A/G)polymorphism in patients with T1D were not different from those in the controls (p>0.05). The allele frequency of G was 36.2% in patients with T1D,and 31.8% in controls (p>0.05). Additionally, this polymorphism was not associated with the clinical and laboratory characteristics of the patients with T1D (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our case-control study suggests that the CTLA-4 (+99A/G) gene polymorphism is not associated with T1D in the Turkish population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND +49A/G polymorphism of the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 gene (CTLA-4) has been associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, results were inconsistent. The aim of this study was to quantitatively summarize the evidence for CTLA-4 +49A/G polymorphism and T1D. METHODS Electronic search of PubMed was conducted to select studies. Case-control studies containing available genotype frequencies of CTLA-4 +49 were chosen, and the odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was used to assess the strength of this association. RESULTS 49 case-control studies, including 8976 cases and 11012 controls, were identified. 8 studies were eliminated from the total 49 studies because of p<0.05 (p value for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the control group) in these studies, which induce significant publication bias. The overall results suggested that the variant genotypes were highly associated (p<0.01) with T1D risk in all genetic models (additive model: OR 1.345, 95% CI 1.249-1.448, p<0.001; recessive model: OR 1.530, 95% CI 1.370-1.708, p<0.001; dominant model: OR 1.409, 95% CI 1.263-1.572 p<0.001). Similarly, in subgroup analyses for ethnicity (Caucasian, Asian), the results were positive. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that the CTLA-4 +49A/G polymorphism is highly associated (p<0.01) with increased risk of T1D, especially in Caucasians and Asians. To validate this association, further studies with more participants worldwide are needed to examine associations between this polymorphism and T1D. Otherwise, we found that the studies of Africans are rare. More studies in Africans are needed especially.

Abstract
AIM: To determine human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1 allele association with susceptibility to type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to clinical and laboratory findings.
METHODS: This study was conducted on 85 unrelated Egyptian children with T1D recruited consecutively from the Pediatric Diabetes Endocrinology outpatients Clinic; Mansoura University Children’s Hospital, Egypt. Patient mean follow up period was 2.5 years. Patients were subdivided according to level of HbA1c (optimal/suboptimal control < 8.5% and poor control ≥ 8.5%). The control group consisted of 113 unrelated age- and sex-matched healthy subjects without T1D or other autoimmune diseases. Genomic DNA extraction was done for all subjects using a DNA isolation kit. HLA-Class II-DQB1 allele typing was carried out with a polymerase chain reaction-sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe using a INNO-LiPA HLA-DQB1 update kit.
RESULTS: Significant differences were detected between Egyptian patients with T1D and control groups in the frequencies of DQB1*02 [44.4% vs 18.6%, corrected P value (Pc) < 0.001] and DQB1*03 (41.2% vs 24.4%, Pc < 0.001). Significant differences were also observed between control groups and T1D patients in the frequencies of DQB1*05 (14.6% vs 7.2%, P = 0.029) and DQB1*06 (34.1% vs 7.2%, P < 0.001). However, after correction for multiple comparisons, the significance was retained for HLA-DQB1*06 (Pc < 0.001) but lost for HLA-DQB1*05. HLA-DQB1*0201, *0202, *030201 were positively associated with T1D (Pc = 0.014, Pc < 0.001, and Pc < 0.001 respectively), while HLA-DQB1*060101 was negatively associated (Pc < 0.001) with the condition. Although the HLA-DQB1 alleles 030101 and 050101 were significantly higher in controls (P = 0.016, P = 0.025 respectively), both of them lost statistical significance after correction of P value. The frequency of the HLA-DQB1 genotypes 02/02, 02/03, and 03/03 was higher in T1D patients, and the frequency of the genotypes 03/06, 05/06, and 06/06 was higher in controls, these differences being statistically significant before correction. After correction, the genotypes 02/02, 02/03 in T1D, and the genotypes 03/06, 06/06 in controls were still significant (Pc = 0.01, Pc < 0.001, Pc < 0.001, and Pc = 0.04, respectively). Non-significant associations were found between the frequency HLA-DQB1 alleles and genotypes in T1D in relation to the grade of diabetic control, Microalbuminuria, age, gender, age of presentation, weight, height, frequency of diabetic ketoacidosis (P = 0.42), serum cholesterol, and fasting and post-prandial level of C-peptide (P = 0.83, P = 0.9, respectively).
CONCLUSION: The Current work suggests that HLA-DQB1 alleles *030201, *0202, *0201, and genotypes 02/03, 02/02 may be susceptibility risk factors for development of T1D in Egyptian children, while the HLA-DQB1*060101 allele, and 03/06, 06/06 genotypes may be protective factors. HLA-DQB1 alleles and genotypes do not contribute to microalbuminuria or grade of diabetic control.

Abstract
To evaluate the association between costimulatory molecule cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) gene polymorphism and type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM), sixty-three published studies before December, 2011 were included. Meta-analysis was performed for each genotype in a random/fixed effect model. The combined odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was calculated to estimate the strength of the association. Overall, significant correlation was noted between CTLA-4 gene polymorphism (i.e. +49A/G, CT60A/G in a per-allele model) and the risk of T1DM (for +49A/G: OR=1.47, 95%CI=1.36-1.60, P<0.001; for CT60A/G: OR=1.31, 95%CI=1.18-1.45, P<0.001). However, no significant association was noted between C(-318)T polymorphism and T1DM. In the subgroup analysis, for +49A/G and CT60A/G, the statistically significant associations were also demonstrated in diverse racial descents (Caucasian and Asian) and age of onset (<20 years and >20 years). In conclusion, our results suggest that CTLA-4 polymorphism contributes to the susceptibility of T1DM.

Abstract
Recently, protein tyrosine phosphatase nonreceptor 22 (PTPN22) C1858T polymorphism has been identified as a susceptibile gene for type 1 diabetes (T1D), but studies are inconsistence, In order to assess the association between PTPN22C1858T polymorphism and T1D based on different ethnicities, a meta-analysis was performed, including 26 studies, total of 16,240 patients and 17,997 controls. Meta-analysis was performed on T versus C, T/T+T/C versus C/C (dominant model) and T/T versus T/C+C/C (recessive model) in a fixed/random effects model. The results indicated an association between the PTPN22 C1858T polymorphism and T1D in all subjects. The overall odds ratio (OR) of T versus C using the fixed effects model was 1.948 (95% CI = 1.859∼2.041, P < 0.001). After stratification by ethnicity, analysis revealed that the PTPN22 C1858T polymorphism T allele was significantly associated with T1D in Europeans, Americans (OR = 1.946, 95% CI = 1.852~2.045, P < 0.001; OR = 1.946, 95% CI = 1.690~2.242, P < 0.001, respectively). Meta-analysis of the T/T+T/C genotype and the T/T genotypes showed the same results as that shown by the PTPN22 C1858T polymorphism T allele. This meta-analysis suggests a possible association between the PTPN22 C1858T polymorphism and T1D, especially in European and American populations.
