To evaluate the association between three single nucleotide polymorphisms of
receptor for advanced glycation endproducts gene and hyperglycemia in Han Chinese
population.Methods Totally 2 731 adult subjects aged 18-62 were recruited from a rural
population of 14 469 subjects in Jiangsu Province by an epidemiological stratification
sampling approach and epidemiological data and serum glucose were collected and
detected.Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis were applied and three tagging single nucleotide
polymorphisms (tagSNPs) of RAGE gene (rs1800624,rs204993,rs184003) were selected for
genotyping and analyzing for the association with fasting blood glucose level.Results Further
adjusted for confounding factors including age,sex,physical activity index and body mass
index,no statistical significant difference was detected in the distribution of genotypes for
SNP rs1800624,rs204993 and rs184003 between cases and controls.And there was no significant
glucose difference among genotype variations of rs1800624,rs204993 and rs184003.Further
stratification analysis by sex showed that there was statistical significant difference of
glucose level among genotype variations of SNP rs184003 in male.Conclusions Our result
suggests that SNP rs1800624,rs204993 and rs184003 of RAGE gene are not associated with
increased risk of hyperglycemia in Han Chinese men and further replication study would be
warranted.
