Objectives: Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse effect of sulfonylureas (SUs) and a major concern when using these drugs. Transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) rs7903146 C>T polymorphism is an established and well characterized genetic marker of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) risk. The aim of the present study was to analyze the potential association of TCF7L2 rs7903146 C>T polymorphism with SU-induced hypoglycemia in a well characterized cohort of SU-treated patients previously genotyped for cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) and P450 oxidoreductase (POR).
Methods: The study group consisted of 176 SU-treated T2DM patients of whom 92 had experienced at least one drug-associated hypoglycemic event. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used for TCF7L2 rs7903146 genotyping.
Results: TCF7L2 rs7903146 C>T genotype and allele frequency did not differ between cases and controls (p=0.745 and 0.671, respectively). In logistic regression analysis adjusted for other factors affecting hypoglycemia, including CYP2C9 and POR genotypes, TCF7L2 rs7903146 C>T polymorphism did not increase the risk of hypoglycemia (OR=1.238, 95% C.I.=0.750-2.044, p=0.405).
Conclusions: TCF7L2 rs7903146 C>T polymorphism is not associated with SU-induced hypoglycemia. Identifying additional gene polymorphisms associated with SU-induced hypoglycemia is crucial for improving T2DM patient therapy with SUs.

Background: This study aims to investigate the genetic contribution of polymorphic variants of the () and () genes to the risk of developing prediabetes in individuals of Kazakh ethnicity.
Materials And Methods: This was a case-control study involving 200 cases with prediabetes and 200 prediabetes-free controls, aged 16-60 years ( = 400). Real-time polymerase chain reaction on a StepOnePlus instrument (Applied Biosystems, USA), employing the TaqMan method for site-specific amplification and genotyping of the () and () genes was used.

Background: A significant overlap in the pathophysiological features of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been reported; and insulin resistance is considered a central driver in both. The expression and hepatic clearance of insulin and subsequent glucose homeostasis are mediated by TCF7L2 via Wnt signaling. Studies have persistently associated TCF7L2 genetic variations with T2DM, however, its results on PCOS are sparse and inconsistent.

Background: India, with the largest population and second-highest type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) prevalence, presents a unique genetic landscape. This study explores the genetic profiling of T2DM, aiming to bridge gaps in existing research and provide insights for further explorations.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of literature published up to September 2024 using databases like PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify SNPs associated with T2DM in case-control studies within the Indian population.

The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the population frequencies of the minor allele of polymorphic variants in the genes (rs7903146) and (rs1801282), based on the genome-wide association studies analysis data associated with the risk of developing prediabetes, in an ethnically homogeneous Kazakh population compared to previously studied populations worldwide. This study utilized a genomic database consisting of 1800 ethnically Kazakh individuals who were considered in healthy condition. Whole-genome genotyping was performed using Illumina OmniChip 2.
