PRKAA2 Genetic Polymorphisms and Its Susceptibility to Chinese Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetic Nephropathy

Completed
Conditions
T2DM (Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus)
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03155087
Lead Sponsor
People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University
Brief Summary

Metformin is a classical oral antidiabetic drug, often recommended to be the first-choice treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Based on the previous research on PRKAA2, STK11 and diabetes, this study aimed to investigate the distributive characteristic of PRKAA2 and STK11 polymorphisms and the potential influence of STK11polymorphisms on metformin efficacy among Chinese T2DM patients, discuss the association of PRKAA2 polymorphisms between T2DM patients and healthy subjects.
