Association between PNPLA3rs738409 polymorphism decreased kidney function in postmenopausal type 2 diabetic women with or without non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Evidence is emerging that PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism (the major genetic variant associated with susceptibility to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD]) is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in non-diabetic individuals. Currently, little is known about this association in type 2 diab...

Description
Summary:Evidence is emerging that PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism (the major genetic variant associated with susceptibility to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease [NAFLD]) is associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in non-diabetic individuals. Currently, little is known about this association in type 2 diabetic (T2DM) patients with and without NAFLD. We studied 101 Caucasian post-menopausal women with T2DM, consecutively attending our diabetes outpatient service during a 3-month period. Glomerular filtration rate (eGFRCKD-EPI) was estimated using the CKD-Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation, whilst albuminuria was measured with an immunonephelometric assay on morning spot urine samples. NAFLD was detected either by fatty liver index (FLI ≥ 60, n = 101) or by ultrasonography (n = 77). Genotyping was performed by TaqMan-Based RT-PCR system. Eight patients had G/G, 41 G/C and 52 C/C PNPLA3 rs738409 genotypes, and 21 (20.8%) patients had CKD (eGFRCKD-EPI
