RESULTS

The study population included 102 diabetic patients, 65 men and 37 women, aged 61.4 ± 7.3 years with a mean BMI 28.8±4.8kg m2. The mean duration of diabetes was 10.1±5.8 years. Most of the patients were on metformin (86.3 %), 22.5 % on oral antidiabetic drug (OAD), 13.7 % on insulin and 63.7 % on an OAD/insulin combination. The basic demographic features of patients with diabetes are shown in the Table 1. The control group included 56 patients who did not differ in basic demographic characteristics. Based on data given in table 2, the frequencies of the -1306C and -1306T alleles in the group of diabetic patients are 0.82 and 0.18, respectively. In the control group, the frequencies of these alleles are 0.71 for -1306C and 0.29 for -1306T. In the group of diabetic patients, the frequencies of -1562C and -1562T alleles are 0.84 and 0.16, respectively; in the control group their frequencies are 0.86 and 0.14, respectively. For the analyzed alleles, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium testing was performed. The testing showed that the p value of Pearson’s Chi-Square test for MMP-2 alleles was 0.71 in the group of patients and 0.58 in the control group. For MMP-9 alleles, the p value of Pearson’s Chi-Square test was 0.48 and 0.21 in the group of diabetic patients and in the control group, respectively. The association of MMP-2 and MMP-9 alleles with diabetes and microvascular complications was investigated in a dominant model of inheritance. Genotype frequencies of the MMP-9 variant -1562C>T between the patients and control group were not significantly different, as was neither the difference in the C nor T allelic frequencies between the control group and patients with type 2 DM. The MMP-2 variant -1306C>T showed a negative correlation with type 2 diabetes (p=0.028). The presence of the -1306C allele increases the probability of developing type 2 diabetes 2.2 times, while the -1306 T allele a has protective role. In order to assess the impact of both variants on microvascular complications, the alleles’ frequencies were correlated with the presence of diabetic retinopathy, polyneuropathy, and nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes. The MMP-9 variant 1562C>T showed no association with any microvascular complications. The MMP-2 variant -1306T showed a negative correlation with diabetic polyneuropathy (p=0.017, Table 3). The presence of the -1306C allele increases the probability of developing diabetic polyneuropathy 3.4 times, while the -1306T allele has protective role. The MMP-2 variant 1306C>T showed no association with the presence of diabetic retinopathy or diabetic nephropathy.
