RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Guidelines from 2016 onwards recommend early use of SGLT2i or GLP-1 RA for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), to reduce CV events and mortality. Many eligible patients are not treated accordingly, although data are lacking for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). METHODS: The CORDIALLY non-interventional study evaluated the real-world characteristics, modern antidiabetic treatment patterns, and the prevalence of CVD and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults with T2D at nonhospital-based practices in CEE. Data were retrospectively collated by medical chart review for patients initiating empagliflozin, another SGLT2i, DPP4i, or GLP-1 RA in autumn 2018. All data were analysed cross-sectionally, except for discontinuations assessed 1 year ± 2 months after initiation. RESULTS: Patients (N = 4055) were enrolled by diabetologists (56.7%), endocrinologists (40.7%), or cardiologists (2.5%). Empagliflozin (48.5%) was the most prescribed medication among SGLT2i, DPP4i, and GLP-1 RA; > 3 times more patients were prescribed empagliflozin than other SGLT2i (10 times more by cardiologists). Overall, 36.6% of patients had diagnosed CVD. Despite guidelines recommending SGLT2i or GLP-1 RA, 26.8% of patients with CVD received DPP4i. Patients initiating DPP4i were older (mean 66.4 years) than with SGLT2i (62.4 years) or GLP-1 RA (58.3 years). CKD prevalence differed by physician assessment (14.5%) or based on eGFR and UACR (27.9%). Many patients with CKD (≥ 41%) received DPP4i, despite guidelines recommending SGLT2is owing to their renal benefits. 1 year ± 2-months after initiation, 10.0% (7.9-12.3%) of patients had discontinued study medication: 23.7-45.0% due to 'financial burden of co-payment', 0-1.9% due to adverse events (no patients discontinued DPP4i due to adverse events). Treatment guidelines were 'highly relevant' for a greater proportion of cardiologists (79.4%) and endocrinologists (72.9%) than diabetologists (56.9%), and ≤ 20% of physicians consulted other physicians when choosing and discontinuing treatments. CONCLUSIONS: In CORDIALLY, significant proportions of patients with T2D and CVD/CKD who initiated modern antidiabetic medication in CEE in autumn 2018 were not treated with cardioprotective T2D medications. Use of DPP4i instead of SGLT2i or GLP-1 RA may be related to lack of affordable access, the perceived safety of these medications, lack of adherence to the latest treatment guidelines, and lack of collaboration between physicians. Thus, many patients with T2D and comorbidities may develop preventable complications or die prematurely. Trial registration NCT03807440.

BACKGROUND: The association of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with the KCNJ11, CDKAL1, SLC30A8, CDKN2B, and FTO genes in the Russian population has not been well studied. In this study, we analysed the population frequencies of polymorphic markers of these genes. METHODS: The study included 862 patients with T2DM and 443 control subjects of Russian origin. All subjects were genotyped for 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the genes using real-time PCR (TaqMan assays). HOMA-IR and HOMA-ß were used to measure insulin resistance and ß-cell secretory function, respectively. RESULTS: The analysis of the frequency distribution of polymorphic markers for genes KCNJ11, CDKAL1, SLC30A8 and CDKN2B showed statistically significant associations with T2DM in the Russian population. The association between the FTO gene and T2DM was not statistically significant. The polymorphic markers rs5219 of the KCNJ11 gene, rs13266634 of the SLC30A8 gene, rs10811661 of the CDKN2B gene and rs9465871, rs7756992 and rs10946398 of the CDKAL1 gene showed a significant association with impaired glucose metabolism or impaired ß-cell function. CONCLUSION: In the Russian population, genes, which affect insulin synthesis and secretion in the ß-cells of the pancreas, play a central role in the development of T2DM.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) regulates translation of IGF2, a growth factor that plays a key role in controlling fetal growth and organogenesis including adipogenesis and pancreatic development. In Caucasians, the rs4402960 G>T polymorphism of IGF2BP2 has been shown to predispose to type 2 diabetes (T2D) in multiple populations. In this study, we tested whether rs4402960 G>T and rs11705701 G>A contribute to the development of T2D in a Russian population. METHODS: Both markers were genotyped in Russian diabetic (n = 1,470) and non-diabetic patients (n = 1,447) using a Taqman allele discrimination assay. The odds ratio (OR) for the risk of developing T2D was calculated using logistic regression assuming an additive genetic model adjusted for age, sex, HbA1c, hypertension, obesity, and body mass index (BMI). Multivariate linear regression analyses were used to test genotype-phenotype correlations, and adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, obesity, and BMI. Expression of IGF2BP2 in the visceral adipose tissue was quantified using real-time PCR. The content of IGF2BP2 protein and both its isoforms (p58 and p66) in the adipose tissue was measured using Western blot analysis. RESULTS: There was no significant association between rs4402960 and T2D. Whereas, allele A of rs11705701 was associated with higher T2D risk (OR = 1.19, p < 0.001). Diabetic and non-diabetic carriers of genotype TT (rs4402960) had significantly increased HOMA-IR (p = 0.033 and p = 0.031, respectively). Non-diabetic patients homozygous for AA (rs11705701) had higher HOMA-IR (p = 0.04), lower HOMA-ß (p = 0.012), and reduced 2-h insulin levels (p = 0.016). Non-obese individuals (diabetic and non-diabetic) homozygous for either AA (rs11705701) or TT (rs4402960) had higher levels of IGF2BP2 mRNA in the adipose tissue than other IGF2BP2 variants. Also, allele A of rs11705701 was associated with reduced amounts of the short isoform (p58) and increased levels of the long isoform (p66) of the IGF2BP2 protein in adipose tissue of non-obese diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. CONCLUSIONS: IGF2BP2 genetic variants contribute to insulin resistance in Russian T2D patients. The short protein isoform p58 of IGF2BP2 is likely to play an anti-diabetogenic role in non-obese individuals.

BACKGROUND: Rare variants of the WFS1 gene encoding wolframin cause Wolfram syndrome, a monogenic disease associated with diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness. In contrast, common variants of WFS1 showed association with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in numerous Caucasian populations. AIM: In this study, we tested whether the markers rs752854, rs10010131, and rs734312, located in the WFS1 gene, are related to the development of T2D in a Russian population. METHODS: The polymorphic markers were genotyped in Russian diabetic (n = 1,112) and non-diabetic (n = 1,097) patients using a Taqman allele discrimination assay. The correlation between the carriage of disease-associated WFS1 variants and the patients' clinical and metabolic characteristics was studied using ANOVA and ANCOVA. Adjustment for confounding variables such as gender, age, body mass index, obesity, HbA1c, and hypertension was made. RESULTS: Haplotype GAG, consisting of the minor alleles of rs752854, rs10010131, and rs734312, respectively, showed association with decreased risk of T2D (OR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.32-0.61, p = 4.3 x 10(-7)). Compared to other WFS1 variants, non-diabetic individuals homozygous for GAG/CAG had significantly increased fasting insulin (p(adjusted) = 0.047) and homeostasis model assessment of ß-cell function (HOMA-ß) index (p(adjusted) = 0.006). Diabetic patients homozygous for GAG/GAG showed significantly elevated levels of 2-h insulin (p(adjusted) = 0.029) and HOMA-ß = 0.011. CONCLUSIONS: Disease-associated variants of WFS1 contribute to the pathogenesis of T2D through impaired insulin response to glucose stimulation and altered ß-cell function.
