Association of common genetic variants of gene with the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial polygenic disease. Potassium inwardly-rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11 ( gene mutations can result in susceptibility of T2DM. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between risk of T2DM and its complications (retinopathy & renal) and polymorphisms rs5210 and rs5215 of the gene in a group of Iranian population.

common genetic variant and type 2 diabetes mellitus risk.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial trait that both environmental and genetic factors contribute to its pathogenesis. The most common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the gene, rs2237892, is highly associated with the risk of T2DM. The aim of the present study was to examine any association between gene rs2237892 variant and risk of T2DM in a group of Iranian patients.

The effect of saffron ( L.) supplementation on blood pressure, and renal and liver function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A double-blinded, randomized clinical trial.

Objective: Microalbuminuria and hypertension are the risk factors for diabetic nephropathy, and increased levels of liver enzymes are prevalent among diabetic patients. The aim of this research was to examine the effects of supplementation on nephropathy indices, liver enzymes, and blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Materials And Methods: This placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial was performed among 80 T2D patients.

Modeling a Telemedicine Screening Program for Diabetic Retinopathy in Iran and Implementing a Pilot Project in Tehran Suburb.

Purpose: To model a community-based telescreening program for diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Iran and to implement a pilot project at the Iranian Diabetes Society (IDS) branch in a Tehran suburb.

Methods: In this mixed model study, a web application called the "Iranian Retinopathy Teleophthalmology Screening (IRTOS)" was launched. The educational course for DR screening was established for general practitioners (GPs).

Association of and gene polymorphisms as a genetic risk factor in gestational diabetes in Iranian women.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most popular metabolic disease during pregnancy. The aim of the present study was to investigate any possible association between Glu298Asp and I/D gene polymorphisms and the risk of GDM in a group of Iranian pregnant women.

Methods: In this case-control study 204 pregnant women were recruited (94 cases and 110 controls).

Association Analysis of the HNF4A Common Genetic Variants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Risk.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex disease that involves a wide range of genetic and environmental factors. The carries out hepatic gluconeogenesis regulation and insulin secretion crucially, and the corresponding gene was shown to be linked to T2DM in several studies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between  genetic variants (rs1884613 and rs1884614) and T2DM risk in a group of Iranian patients.
