Association of ABCC8 gene variants with response to sulfonylurea in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with high blood glucose levels and sulfonylureas (SFUs) are one of the treatment options for DM. SFUs bind to sulfonylurea-1 receptor (SUR1), which is encoded by the ABCC8 gene and leads to blood glucose reduction. Genetic variants like rs757110 and rs1799854 of ABCC8 can influence the response to the drug's efficiency. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between the ABCC8 rs757110 and rs1799854 genetic variants and response to SFUs treatment.

Methods

Totally, 61 DM patients with SFUs treatment were included. Baseline characteristics of the patients were recorded and 5 ml of blood was taken from each patient. After DNA extraction, a sequence containing rs757110 and rs1799854 was synthesized
