Fig. 1. Distribution of genotypes by locus rs2304277 of the OGG1 gene
Table 1. Demographic, clinical and biochemical characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes
Note: Me (Q1;Q3) — median, first and third quartiles; GFR — glomerular filtration rate (CKD-EPI); LDL — low-density lipoproteins; HDL — high-density lipoproteins.
Table 2. Sequences of primers and allele-specific fluorescent probes for genotyping by real-time PCR
Note: F — forward primer, R — reverse primer, FAM — reference allele-specific fluorescently labeled probe, ROX — minor allele-specific fluorescently labeled probe.
Table 3. Associations of OGG1 gene polymorphic variants with the risk of developing DNP in patients with type 2 diabetes
Note: 1 — Absolute number and percentage of individuals with a particular genotype; 2 — Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of the SNP association with the phenotype, adjusted for sex, age, and BMI; 3 — Significance level of association according to the codominant model, adjusted for sex, age, and BMI.
Table 4. Statistically significant associations of OGG1 gene diplotypes with the risk of developing DNP in patients with type 2 diabetes
Note: 1 — Absolute number and percentage of individuals with a particular genotype; 2 — Significance level; 3 — Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval. Minor alleles are underlined.
Table 5. Linkage disequilibrium analysis of the studied loci of the OGG1 gene
Note: The gray cells show the D values, the white ones show the D` values. p < 2 × 10–16.
Table 6. Analysis of associations of OGG1 haplotypes with the risk of DNP in patients with T2DM
Note: 1 — Haplotype; 2 — Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval of the haplotype–phenotype association adjusted for sex, age, and BMI; 3 — Significance level of the association adjusted for sex, age, and BMI. Minor alleles are underlined.
