Abstract Patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) as chronic hepatitis C (CHC) are at high risk of diabetes type 2 (T2D). Genetic factors are suggested to modulate diabetes development in cirrhotic patients. TCF7L2 gene has been reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes, but the association of TCF7L2 with cirrhotic patients with diabetes is unclear. We aimed to study the TCF7L2 gene polymorphisms (rs 290487) in cirrhotic patients with diabetes. Method The study was assessed on 25 cirrhotic patients with type 2 diabetes who were compared to 25 cirrhotic HCV patients (nondiabetic), 25 diabetic type 2 patients, and 25 age- and gender-matched healthy control groups. After the collection of relevant clinical data and basic laboratory tests, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the TCF7L2 gene (rs290487) was performed by a real-time PCR technique. Results Cirrhotic patients with diabetes presented significantly poorer liver function, higher incidence of cirrhotic complications, and higher glucose levels compared with cirrhotic nondiabetic patients. The TCF7L2 rs290487 TT variant showed significantly increased diabetes risk in cirrhotic patients compared with CC and CT genotypes. Conclusions TCF7L2 rs290487 polymorphism could be associated with increased diabetic risk in cirrhotic patients. |
