FTO gene is associated with Type-2 diabetes (T2D) and increased fat mass. Association of Perilipin and FTO genes polymorphism with T2D was investigated.<br> <br> <strong><em>Methods: </em></strong>Clinical traits in a random sample of 183 Iranian men and women with T2D and 174 controls without any metabolic disease took part in the study. The sample was genotyped using Tetra-ARMS method.<br> <br> <strong><em>Results:</em></strong> In Perilipin (rs1052700) polymorphism tested, a significant association was found between this polymorphism and T2D (P=0.03). In FTO (rs3751812) polymorphism, a significant association was seen between this gene and obesity (P=0.003). But, no significant relation was found between this genotype and T2D.<br> <br> <strong><em>Conclusion: </em></strong>The rs3751812 polymorphism of FTO gene is the major genetic determinant of obesity, but not type-2 diabetes. The rs1052700 polymorphism of Perilipin gene is related to T2D but not obesity.</div> Type-2 diabetes, FTO, Perilipin, gene polymorphism 80 87 http://rbmb.net/browse.php?a_code=A-10-53-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Ramin Saravani saravaniramin@yahoo.com 10031947532846006242 10031947532846006242 Yes Cellular and Molecular Research Center, Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Zahedan, Iran - Department of Clinical Biochemistry, School of Medicine, Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Zahedan, Iran.
