Abstract
Background
Obesity significantly contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Genetic variations in leptin receptor (LEPR) genes are thought to be influential in the onset of T2DM in patients with kidney malfunction and obesity. This study focused on examining the link between the Gln223Arg polymorphism in the LEPR gene and T2DM in the mid-Black Sea region of the Anatolian Turkish population.
Methodology
In this study, we examined a group of 174 patients with T2DM and compared them to a control group of 30 healthy individuals to explore the relationship involving the leptin receptor gene (Gln223Arg). The T2DM group was divided into 91 patients with macroproteinuria and 46 patients with normoproteinuria subgroups. The genetic analysis was conducted using the polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique.
Results
Our data revealed a significant increase in the frequency of gene polymorphism with HbA1c levels.
Conclusion
The Gln223Arg leptin receptor gene mutation may cause an elevation of HbA1c in T2DM patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the mid-Black Sea region of the Anatolian Turkish population.

期刊介绍:
The official journal of the Shanghai Diabetes Institute Obesity is a disease of increasing global prevalence with serious effects on both the individual and society. Obesity Medicine focusses on health and disease, relating to the very broad spectrum of research in and impacting on humans. It is an interdisciplinary journal that addresses mechanisms of disease, epidemiology and co-morbidities. Obesity Medicine encompasses medical, societal, socioeconomic as well as preventive aspects of obesity and is aimed at researchers, practitioners and educators alike.
