Abstract
Insulin resistance (IR) is pathogenic for type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD). The K121Q polymorphism of the
ENPP1/PC-1 gene is associated with IR. Our aim was to investigate the role of the 121Q variant on the risk of type 2 diabetes and CAD.
Nondiabetic control subjects ( n = 638), type 2 diabetic patients without CAD ( n = 535), and type 2 diabetic patients with CAD ( n = 434) from Italy and the U.S. were studied. The proportion of 121Q carriers progressively increased in the three groups
(27.4, 28.8, and 33.2%, respectively; adjusted P value = 0.027). Among diabetic patients ( n = 969), 121Q carriers had an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes before the age of 65 years (adjusted odds ratio
[OR] 2.26, 95% CI 1.26–4.03; P = 0.006) and having a myocardial infarction (MI) ( n = 156) by 50 years of age (3.17, 1.46–6.88, P = 0.007). The 121Q variant was also associated with an increased risk for CAD (1.47, 1.01–2.18; P = 0.049) in diabetic patients who did not smoke ( n = 546). In conclusion, the ENPP1/PC-1 121Q variant is associated with a progressive deterioration of the IR-atherogenic phenotype; among diabetic individuals,
it is also associated with earlier onset of type 2 diabetes and MI.
