Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation between the variations of mitochondrial gene ATP6 and type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM ) and chronic complications. Methods Genomic DNA were extracted from 254 T2DM patients and 165 age-matched controls. After amplification of ATP6 by PCR and direct sequencing, all sequences were compared with the reference sequence (rCRS) to find out the variations. Bioinformatics and statistic method were used to analyze these variations. Results Many variations were detected respectively in T2DM patients and controls, a part of them only appeared in T2DM patients in low frequency, which has not been reported previously. Most of these variations are located in thethird and forth transmembrane helix of ATP synthase subunit 6 (ATPase6). Interestingly, these variationsalmost were detected in the non-obese T2DM patients with hypotension, including G8557A, A8563G,T8594C, C8609T, A8689G, G8998A and G9139A. Conclusions There were many variations in geneATP6 and must of them are mitochondrial SNP, while variations A8689G, T8825C, G8920A, G8998A andG9139A may be mild mutations which my increase the susceptibility of T2DM. G8557A, A8563G,T8594C, C8609T, A8689G, G8998A and G9139A may be associated with the biogenetics diseases suchdiabetes and hypertension.
