There are 2 clinical trials
Gliclazide has greater glucose lowering efficacy than glibenclamide among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with minor haplotype (K23/A1369) at the KCNJ11/ABCC gene locations.
Interestingly, the KCNJ11 E23K (rs5219) variant was shown to confer susceptibility to T2DM and the ABCC8 S1369A (rs757110) variant was found to be in complete linkage disequilibrium with it i.e. inherited together as a genetic block (haplotype).
Description: Glycemic variability will be assessed using the EasyGV software (http://www.phc.ox.ac.uk/research/diabetes/software/easygv/) which is capable of calculating 10 different measures of glycemic variability from continuous glucose monitoring data, such as Standard Deviation (SD) and M-value, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE).
Measure: Glycemic variability Time: 6 daysThe investigators propose to study the association of the KCNJ11 (Potassium Voltage-Gated Channel Subfamily J Member 11) polymorphisms on diabetes risk in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) and Jackson Heart Study (JHS) cohorts. The investigators also propose to test for an interaction between serum K and these genetic variants. By testing for such an interaction, it will be determined if, among participants with these genetic variants, a low-normal serum K was a stronger predictor of diabetes risk compared to those participants without these genetic variants.
Calculation of odds ratio will be used to represent the risk of incident diabetes associated with serum K, rs5215, and rs5219 within the cohort.
Description: Calculation of odds ratio will be used to represent the risk of incident diabetes associated with serum K, rs5215, and rs5219 within the cohort
Measure: Associations of serum potassium and KCNJ11 variants with incident diabetes as represented by odds ratio Time: through study completion, mean of 8 years of follow-up
