Abstract
Background
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a prevalent microangiopathic problem of T2DM and is a key cause of kidney damage, which affects a large portion of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Genetic predisposition plays a crucial role in the development of DN.
Aim
We investigated the effect of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) genetic polymorphisms on the susceptibility to DN in patients with T2DM.
Methods
A total of 294 T2DM patients with DN were enrolled: non-DN Group I and DN Group II. Two tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tSNPs) of the GLP1R gene were selected. SNPs were genotyped via polymerase chain reaction, and the results were correlated with DN.
Results
Patients with T2DM with The GA and AA genotypes of rs3765467 were linked to higher DN risk, with odds ratios (ORs) of 1.975 (p = 0.017) and 4.175 (p = 0.034), respectively, while the CT genotype of rs10305420 showed an OR of 1.719 (p = 0.031). Both SNPs were correlated with altered lipid profiles, renal function markers, and elevated albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) (p < 0.05). The A-T haplotype was significantly related to a greater risk of DN in T2DM patients.
Conclusions
These results recommend that GLP1R genetic polymorphisms play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of DN, and the identified variants may serve as valuable genetic biomarkers for predicting DN risk in T2DM patients.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
