Brief Summary

Type 2 diabetes and obesity are both multifactorial diseases resulting from gene-environment interactions. However, this interaction, as well as the specific effect of each polymorphism, remains poorly understood.

We now proposed a prospective cohort study to improve our understanding of the influence of phenotypic characteristics on gene expression in tissues involved in glucose and/or lipid metabolism by collecting different biological samples.

Detailed Description

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a disease commonly associated with obesity, which is an important risk factor for this condition. More than 80% of the diabetic subjects are obese. By analogy with the metabolic syndrome, the close association between obesity and T2D justifies the recognition of a new disease entity named by the neologism "diabesity".

This study will examine the contribution of different genetic variants on "diabesity" development, by integrating multiple genomics approaches (linkage analysis on whole genome, transcriptomics and bioinformatics) and analysis of biological pathways in relevant animals models and humans.

Study & Design

Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Study Design
Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Study the influence of phenotypic characteristics on gene expression of tissues involved in glucose metabolismBaseline

Study the correlation between the glycemic status (fasting glucose and / or after ingestion of glucose) adjusted to the presence or absence of obesity (Body Mass Index) and gene expression in tissues involved in glucose metabolism before bariatric surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Prospective assessment of clinical ans biological features before and after bariatric surgery5 years

Prospective assessment of clinical and biological features before and after bariatric surgery: weight, BMI, blood pressure, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), prothrombin time, platelets, serum triglyceride, cholesterolemia, fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin, blood glucose and insulin 120 minutes after ingestion of glucose (oral glucose tolerance test)

Genotype-Phenotype correlationBaseline

Genotype-Phenotype correlation based on medical and family history

Correlation between gene expression and tissue insulin resistance index (HOMA2) (The Homeostasis Model Assessment)5 years

Insulin resistance is individually calculated by homeostasis model assessment(HOMA2) by determination of fasting glucose and insulin

Prospective assessment of clinical and biological features before and after bariatric surgery2 years

Prospective assessment of clinical and biological features before and after bariatric surgery: weight, BMI, blood pressure, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), prothrombin time, platelets, serum triglyceride, cholesterolemia, fasting blood glucose and fasting insulin, blood glucose and insulin 120 minutes after ingestion of glucose (oral glucose tolerance test)
