Abstract: AIM: To investigate the association between the Calpain10 gene polymorphism and the risk of PTDM in Chinese renal allograft recipients.METHODS: Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (CAPN10 gene SNP-19,SNP-43,SNP-63) were genotyped in the cohort, which consisted of 97 renal allograft recipients with PTDM (PTDM group) and 301 renal allograft recipients without PTDM (control group).The genotypes of polymorphisms were performed by allele specific polymerase chain reaction (ASPCR), PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Logistic regression test was used to identify risk factors for PTDM development and calculate the odds ratio.RESULTS: The 11 and 12 genotypes of SNP-19 and the GG genotypes of SNP-43 were more common in patients with PTDM than those without PTDM (P<0.05). After adjustments for age, sex, body weight and BMI, the effect of genotype remained significant (11 vs 22, OR=1.502, 95%CI: 1.016-2.347, P=0.048; 12 vs 22, OR=1.764, 95%CI: 1.055-2.947, P=0.030) in SNP-19 and the patients carrying genotype GG had higher risk comparison with carriers with genotype AA or GA(OR=2.190, 95%CI: 1.047-3.473, P=0.044)in SNP-43. But SNP-63 was not association with PTDM.CONCLUSION: The 1-allele in SNP-19 and GG genotype in SNP-43 of CAPN10 gene are the independent risk factors of PTDM in Chinese renal allograft recipients.
