# Genetic Insights Into Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Susceptibility: A Case-Control Study of the ADIPOQ rs1501299 Polymorphism in the Population of Noakhali Region of Bangladesh

## TL;DR

This study investigates how a specific genetic variation in the ADIPOQ gene affects the risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes in the Noakhali region of Bangladesh.

## Contribution

The study identifies a novel association between the ADIPOQ rs1501299 T allele and increased T2DM risk in the Noakhali population.

## Key findings

- The ADIPOQ rs1501299 T allele is significantly associated with increased risk of T2DM.
- The TT genotype showed significant deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium.
- ADIPOQ rs1501299 was not associated with cardiovascular disease in the studied population.

## Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global health concern, particularly prevalent in low to middle-income countries like Bangladesh. This case-control study aims to explore the correlation between the ADIPOQ rs1501299 polymorphism and susceptibility to T2DM among the population of Noakhali region of Bangladesh. The study, involving 152 T2DM patients and 118 healthy controls, explores the genetic underpinnings of T2DM, considering the rising prevalence in Bangladesh. The ADIPOQ gene, implicated in diabetes development, is examined for the rs1501299 polymorphism, known for its associations with insulin resistance and T2DM in various populations. Genotyping, conducted through PCR and RFLP analysis, reveals significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium for the TT genotype, suggesting potential demographic influences. Clinical and biochemical characteristics, including blood pressure and lipid levels, highlight the complex interplay between genetics, metabolic outcomes and cardiovascular health in T2DM patients. This study identifies a significant association between the ADIPOQ rs1501299 T allele and increased T2DM risk, emphasizing the need for personalized risk assessment. However, ADIPOQ rs1501299 did not show any substantial association with CVD in the studied population. Despite limitations in sample size and regional focus, this study provides valuable insights into the genetic landscape of T2DM in the Noakhali population, paving the way for future research and personalized therapeutic interventions in addressing the global T2DM epidemic.
