Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most prevalent component of metabolic syndrome. Environmental factors and various complex genes like transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene have involved in the disease development. Objective: To determine TCF7L2 genetic association (rs7903146C/T and rs12255372G/T) in T2DM patients of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa population of Pakistan. Subjects and methods: This study comprised of 176 subjects including 118 T2DM patients and 58 healthy controls. Genomic DNA was extracted and genotype of common variants (rs7903146 C/T and rs12255372 G/T) was carried out by amplification-refractory mutation system (ARMS)-PCR of sequence specific oligonucleotides. Results: The distribution of genotype of TCF7L2 SNPs (rs7903146 C/T and rs12255372 G/T) was significantly associated with T2DM as compared to the controls (p <0.0001). The genetic models of the rs7903146 (C/T) and rs12255372 (G/T) SNPs were significantly associated between cases and controls (p <0.0001). On the other hand, the significant association was observed between the two SNPs and different biochemical parameters like serum fasting glucose, lipid profile, creatinine and blood HbA1c levels (p <0.05). Conclusion: It is concluded that the SNPs of the TCF7L2 gene are significantly associated with T2DM disease susceptibil- ity in the population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan. Keywords: T2DM; TCF7L2; Genetic association, ARMS-PCR, Single nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs), Khyber Pakh- tunkhwa.

Family history has considered as a risk factor of type 2 diabetes. Transcription factor-7 like 2 (TCF7L2) hasrole to regulates insulin secretion and blood glucose homeostasis. The aim of current study was to determine thers7903146 polymorphism of TCF7L2 gene and homeostatic model assessment-β (HOMA-β) level on individual withand without type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) family history. This work is a case-control study. Thirty six subjectswith type 2 DM family history and 36 subjects without type 2 DM family history were recruited. HOMA-βmeasure to analyze the insulin secretion. Polymorphisms of TCF7L2 gene was analyzed by using PCR-RFLPmethod. Statistical analysis was performed by using T-test, Mann-Whitney and Chi-square with signifi cancelevel 0.05. The frequency of the T allele of the cases were 4.2% and the controls were 2.8% (p=0.500). The oddratio was 0.649 (CI;95%:0.106-4.055). The HOMA-β levels of the cases were signifi cant low (132.56±62.48)compared with the controls (266.09±1.68) with p=0.000. The subjects with type 2 DM family history have asimilar frequency of having T alleles and CT/TT genotypes. The subjects with type 2 DM family history hassignifi cantly lower HOMA-β levels than subject without DM family history.

This study included 50 blood samples that were collected from patients with age ranged between 35-65 years. Thirty samples were collected from patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), while 20 blood samples were collected from healthy individuals as a control sample. The polymorphism results of TGF-β1 gene in codon 10: +869*C/T position by using amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS-PCR) showed that the T allele was suggested to have a protective effect, while C allele was associated with an increased risk of T2DM. The TT and CT were suggested to have a protective effect, while CC genotype was associated with an increased risk of T2DM. The polymorphism results of TGF-β1 gene in codon 25: +915*G/C position in samples showed that the G allele was suggested to have a protective effect, while C allele was associated with an increased risk of T2DM. The GC genotype was suggested to have a protective effect, while GG and CC genotypes were associated with an increased risk of T2DM.
