Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) α and γ genes play an important role in dyslipidaemia of T2DM. To estimate the frequency distribution of PPAR α and γ gene polymorphisms in South Indian T2DM patients with dyslipidaemia compared to healthy controls. Normative frequencies of SNPs were established and compared with data for 1000 genome populations. Eligible 382 cases and 336 age and sex-matched controls were enrolled. Six SNPs in PPARα [rs1800206 C>G (Leu162Val), rs4253778 G>C, rs135542 T>C] and PPARγ [rs3856806 (C>T), rs10865710 (C>G), rs1805192 C>G (Pro12Ala)] genes were selected for genotyping. The allele and gene frequencies did not significantly differ between the diabetic dyslipidaemia cases and healthy controls. However, they were significantly different from that of 1000 genome populations except for rs1800206 C>G (Leu162Val) and rs1805192 C>G (Pro12Ala). The studied polymorphisms in PPARα and PPARγ genes are not associated with diabetic dyslipidaemia among South Indian patients.
