Abstract

Abstract : Metformin is the first-choice oral anti-hyperglycemic drug for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. There are controversies about the association of SLC22A1 rs622342, which was not reported in the Chinese population, and ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) rs11212617 polymorphisms with metformin efficacy in T2DM. Our study was to investigate the effects of the two single nucleotide polymorphisms on the efficacy of metformin in T2DM of Han nationality in Chaoshan China. After enrollment, 82 newly diagnosed T2DM patients went on 2-month metformin monotherapy. According to BMI before treatment, the patients were divided into a normal weight group (≥18.5 and <25 kg/m 2 ) and an overweight group (BMI ≥ 25 and <30 kg/m 2 ). T -test, Pearson χ 2 test, and regression analysis, which adjusted for age, BMI, sex, the dose of metformin, education, tea drink, smoking, and sweet, were used to evaluate the effects of rs622342 and rs11212617 on several variables, such as fasting plasma glucose (FPG). Compared with the AA or CC genotype, patients with AC genotype of rs622342 achieved greater reduction in Δ60FPG and Δ(60–30)FPG ( P = 0.00820, 0.00089, respectively). For 11212617, the reduction in Δ30FPG and Δ60FPG was significantly different among patients with the AC genotype ( P = 0.00026, 0.00820, respectively). Our results indicated that common variants of SLC22A1 rs622342 and ATM rs11212617 were associated with the efficacy of metformin in T2DM of Han nationality in Chaoshan China.
