Abstract: AIM: To investigate the association of β3-adrenergic receptor gene Trp64Arg polymorphism with hyperuricemia in a Chinese male type 2 diabetes mellitus patients population.METHODS: 196 hyperuricemic and 196 normouricemic male subjects were genotyped in this study. Body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), serum uric acid, urea nitrogen, creatinine, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), postprandial plasma glucose (PPG) were detected.RESULTS: We found patients with different Trp64Arg genotype showed significant differences in average uric acid concentrations (599.53±113.70 vs 529.78±81.10 vs 507.33±74.27, P<0.01) among CC, CT and TT genotype and there were significantly higher average uric acid concentrations in Trp64Arg TC+CC genotype individuals (557.95±99.91 vs 503.47±69.40 μmol/L, P<0.01) than those TT genotype subjects in the hyperuricemic group.CONCLUSION: Trp64Arg polymorphism was associated with hyperuricemia in a Chinese male population with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
