Association of CAPN10 gene with insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance and renal function in essential hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND
Essential hypertension (EH) is a common disorder, which can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Calpain-10 (CAPN10) gene was the first candidate gene of T2D identified through genome-wide linkage and positional cloning, but few works have focused on the relationship of CAPN10 with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) in EH patients.


METHODS
To identify the effect of UCSNP-43 and UCSNP-44 in CAPN10 gene on susceptibility to IFG/IGT, we conducted a case-control study in 961 EH patients with and without IFG/IGT among Han Chinese population. We also evaluated the impact of two SNPs on insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance estimated through oral glucose tolerance test and renal functions by blood chemical assays.


RESULTS
The major findings of this study were that UCSNP-43 displayed higher G120 and AUCg. In addition, UCSNP-44 was found associated with IFG/IGT in EH patients, and associated with increased G30, G60, AUCg, Cederholm index, Scr and eGFR. The haplotype UCSNP-43-44 was detected associated with IFG/IGT susceptibility, G60, G120, I0, AUCg, Scr and eGFR by the linear regression with the adjustment for sex, age, BMI, mean blood pressures and ACEI/ARB treatment.


CONCLUSIONS
These findings provided some evidence that CAPN10 gene may play an important role in the pathogenesis of IFG/IGT in EH patients.
