Abstract: We observed the polymorphism distribution and coaction of uncoupling protein 3(UCP3)-55C/T, adipo-nectin(APN)+45T/G and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α-308G/A on the onset and development of T2DM in a Northern Chinese Han population of 213[100 type 2 diabete(T2DM) patients and 113 health control subjects] by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisum(PCR-RFLP) method. Results demonstrate the polymorphism of UCP3-55C/T, APN+45T/G, and TNF-α-308G/A related to T2DM onset and developement. And the individuals carrying UCP3-55T, APN+45G and TNF-α-308A allele had higher T2DM risk. Those results are the first report to evaluate the association of the coaction of UCP3, APN, TNF-α genes polymorphism on T2DM risk and the susceptibility of T2DM in the Northern Chinese Han population.

Key words: Uncoupling protein 3(UCP3), Adiponectin(APN), Tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α, Gene polymorphism, Type 2 diabete(T2DM) risk
