Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is common in Saudi Arabia and represents a major health concern. Silent information regulator of transcription-1 (SIRT1) positively influences insulin sensitivity and might contribute to the pathogenesis of T2DM. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of two common functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of SIRT1; rs12778366 (T>C) and rs3758391 (T>C) in Saudi Arabian population and examine any association with T2DM.

Aims: Coronary artery disease (CAD) represents the leading cause of death worldwide. Accumulating evidence also suggests that sirtuins (SIRTS) have been associated with CAD. The present study was aimed at investigating the association between 12 gene polymorphisms for SIRTs and the development of CAD in a Chinese population.

Background: Primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by decreased platelet count. While corticosteroids are a useful first-line therapy for ITP patients, their long-term effectiveness is limited, and the determinants of corticosteroid sensitivity in ITP patients remain largely unknown. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), a member of the mammalian sirtuin family, is related to the anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease caused by complex interaction between genetic and environmental factors. There is a growing body of evidence of the involvement of sirtuins (SIRTs) in disease pathomechanism. SIRTs are NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases which take part in various cellular functions.

Aim & Objective: Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1) gene stimulates the expression of antioxidants and repairs damaged cells. It affects the mitochondrial activity within the oocytes to overcome the oxidant stress. We aimed to assess an association of SIRT1 polymorphism (Tag SNPs rs10509291 and rs12778366) with fertility, and assess serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), oestradiol, progesterone, manganese superoxide (MnSOD) and SIRT1.
