Abstract
Background: Diabetes is the third widespread after heart disease and cancer. We have investigated genetic polymorphisms in cytokine genes viz. IL-4, IL-1Ra, IL-1β, IL-18, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10 and ADIPOQ. The aim of study was to investigate the haplotypes, gene-gene interactions and their role in determining individual susceptibility to T2DM of family members with diabetic history.
Methods: Haplotype analysis of 2 SNPs each in IL-6 and adiponectin genes showing Pairwise Linkage disequilibrium (LD) was done by SHEsis software. Logistic regression was used to study various combinations of gene-gene interactions.
Results: The TCGT* set of allele combination appeared to increase the disease risk upto 2 times while TATG* upto 51.4 times when four SNPs are taken together viz. IL-1β-511 C/T, IL-18-607 A/C, ADIPOQ1 +45 G/T and ADIPOQ2 +10211 T/G. Interaction of SNPs in eight genes showed one highly significant combination of alleles, TCGAGCTT* which increased the risk of T2DM upto 7.4 times while CAGAGCGT* allele combination increased the risk upto 4 times.
Conclusion: During pedigree analysis in six families with four SNPs, it was interesting to note that susceptible ‘AC' genotype of IL-18-607 A/C was frequent in diabetic individuals in almost all families. Moreover, when checked for the presence of risk haplotypes it was observed that TCGT* and TATG* sets of allele combinations were present in most of the diabetic individuals. Individuals with certain abnormal biochemical parameters but not yet diagnosed for T2DM carried the risk genotype or haplotype. This suggested that individuals carrying risk genotypes/haplotypes might be susceptible to T2DM and develop the disease in the future.

Advancing Diabetic Wound Healing: Mechanisms and Interventions
In recent years, diabetic wounds have become a global health concern with the increase in the incidence of diabetes. Diabetic wounds are a kind of chronic and refractory ulcer. It is generally due to the microcirculatory disturbances and the reduced levels of endogenous growth factors. Delayed cutaneous wound healing is ...read more
Oxidative and inflammatory responses in the development of secondary diabetic complications
Diabetes, along with its associated secondary complications, represents a significant global health challenge, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Unhealthy lifestyle habits, reduced physical activity, environmental pollutants, and stress are pivotal factors in the onset of diabetes, particularly type-2 diabetes. Poorly managed hyperglycemia can lead to various complications, including neuropathy, ...read more
