Association of MMP-2 genes variants with diabetic retinopathy in Tunisian population with type 2 diabetes.

Few studies investigated the association of genetic difference in metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) gene with diabetic retinopathy but with mixed outcome. To investigate the association between a set of MMP-2 genetic variants and the risk of diabetic retinopathy in an Arab Tunisian population with type 2 diabetes. A retrospective case-control study comprising a total of 779 type 2 diabetes patients with or without diabetic retinopathy was conducted. Genotyping was prepared by TaqMan® SNP genotyping qRT-PCR. The variants used were rs243865 (C/T), rs243864 (T/G), rs243866 (G/T) and rs2285053 (C/T). The minor allele frequency (MAF) of the rs243864 MMP-2 variant was significantly higher among diabetic retinopathy patients. Setting homozygous wild type genotype carrier as reference, the rs243864T/G allele was associated with increased risk of diabetic retinopathy under the dominant, recessive, and additive models which persisted when key covariates were controlled for, while a reduced risk of diabetic retinopathy progression was seen after adjustment between non-proliferative and proliferative diabetic patients. Furthermore, the heterozygous genotype GT of the rs243866 variant is positively associated with the risk of proliferative diabetic retinopathy in the additive model. A limited linkage disequilibrium (LD) was revealed between the four-matrix metalloproteinase-2 variants. Four-loci haplotype analysis identified, GCTC, TTTC, and GCTT haplotypes to be positively associated with the risk of diabetic retinopathy. Our findings demonstrate that the MMP-2 variant rs243864 and 243866 are related to the susceptibility to diabetic retinopathy and the progression of the disease in an Arab Tunisian population with type 2 diabetes.
