Association of polymorphisms rs290487, rs864745, rs4430796 and rs23136 with type 2 diabetes in the Uyghur population in China.

ABSTRACT: Studies have showed a number of susceptibility genes variants such as transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2), potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1 (KCNQ1), juxtaposed with another zinc finger protein 1 (JAZF1) and HNF1 homeobox B (HNF1B) been strongly associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in various ethnic groups. However, few studies have conducted in Uyghur, a Chinese minority ethnic group as an admixture population of Caucasians and East Asians. This study was performed to evaluate the association of genetic polymorphism with T2D susceptibility in the Uyghur population. The genomic samples from the blood of unrelated 284 T2D patients and 258 healthy controls were genotyped and analyzed using denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) assay. We found that f
