| Research Abstract |
With DNA extracted from blood samples of unrelated Japanese type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients and non-diabetic controls, we screened mutations and polymorphisms with direct sequencing in the Foxa-2 gene. The screening revealed four polymorphisms of Foxa-2 gene. We have found that two alleles among the polymorphisms in Foxa-2 gene. The frequencies of A alleles of two polymorphisms, nt 537 and codon279, in the gene were significantly higher than those of the opposite allele (p<0.05). From these facts, it is suggested that the polymorphisms in Foxa-2 gene are involved with clinical characteristics of early-onset diabetes.
With DNA extracted from blood samples of 96 Japanese type2 diabetic patients and 102 non-diabetic controls, we screened mutations and polymorphisms with direct sequencing in heme oxygenase (HO-1) gene. With the screening of HO-1 gene, we identified three polymorphisms, SNPHO1(A/T), SNPHO2(A/G) and (GT)n repeat in the gene. The allele frequencies SNPHO1 and ANPHO2 were n

ot significantly different between diabetic group and control group. We determined the number of GT repeats in the HO-1 promoter in diabetics and controls and compared the frequencies of short repeat (class S) and long repeat (class L) alleles. In non-diabetic group, the number of patients with hyperlipidemia was significantly larger in class L than in class S (Chi-square test p<0.05). Both the systolic and diastolic pressures in diabetic group were significantly higher in class L than in class S (p<0.05). In non-diabetic group, the number of patients with hyperlipidemia was significantly larger in the case with A/A allele in the SNPHO1 than in the case with A/T allele or T/T allele (Chi-square test p<0.05). Both the systolic and diastolic pressures in diabetic group were significantly higher in the case with A/A allele in SNPHO1 than in with A/T allele or T/T allele.
Taken together, these data may suggest a role of polymorphisms of Foxa-2 gene and HO-1 gene in diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension. That requires further investigation to test these hypotheses. Less
