Abstract
Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the TCF7L2, HHEX, SLC30A8, MTNR1B, SLC2A2 and GLIS3 genes are well established candidate genes for cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) across different ethnic populations. We investigated their association with CMDs in a mixed ancestry population of South Africa. rs10830963, rs1111875, rs11920090, rs13266634, rs7034200 and rs7903146 SNPs were genotyped by quantitative real time PCR in 1650 participants and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) analyses performed on the SNPs. Diabetes, obesity, hypertension and cardiometabolic traits were compared across genotypes of SNPs in HWE. Linear and logistic regressions adjusting for age, gender and body mass index were used to determine the risk of T2D, obesity and hypertension. rs7903146 (p = 0.055), rs1111875 (p = 0.465), rs13266634 (p = 0.828), and rs10830963 (p = 0.158) were in HWE. The rs10830963 recessive genotype was able to predict FPG, insulin and HOMA-IR, while the rs1111875 recessive genotype was able to predict total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol and FPG. The rs7903146 recessive genotype was able to predict SBP and LDL cholesterol. The recessive genotypes of MTNRIB and HHEX SNPs were associated with T2D traits in the study population and could partially explain the high prevalence of T2D. Further studies are required to confirm these findings and establish candidate genes in the African population.
