Abstract
Dyslipidemia is one of the major complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Dietary fat intake and genetic factors including CETP Taq1B polymorphism could also affect lipid profile concentrations, in particular HDL-c. We decided to study the frequency of this polymorphism and its interaction with dietary fat intake on HDL-c concentration among Iranian T2DM patients with and without dyslipidemia. In this comparative study, serum samples were collected from 55 patients with dyslipidemia and 129 patients without dyslipidemia. Validated semi-quantitative FFQ was used for food consumption data. CETP Taq1B polymorphism was studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). We used χ2 and two-way ANOVA tests for statistical analysis. The frequency of B1B1 genotype was higher in patients with dyslipidemia (p=0.01). There was no significant relationship between CETP Taq1B polymorphism and lipid profile concentrations. In patients without dyslipidemia, the interaction between the polymorphism and total fat intake on HDL-c concentration as well as TG/HDL ratio was significant (p=0.02 and p=0.009 respectively). This was more evident in B1B1 genotype. Moreover, HDL-c concentration was significantly higher in B2B2 genotype with low total fat intake. Higher total fat intake may affect the relationship between CETP Taq1B polymorphism and HDL-c concentration in patients with normolipidemic T2DM.
