Transplantation and new onset Diabetes Mellitus

Апстракт

Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms may influence the risk of development of new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT), a post-transplant clinical complication that is often implicated in allograft rejection and mortality. We performed a meta-analysis of association between TCF7L2 rs7903146 and risk of post-transplant diabetes mellitus.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted using PubMed and ScienceDirect electronic databases for studies published between January 2001 to January 2021. Case-control or cohort studies reporting association between NODAT (diagnosis based on American Diabetes Association [ADA] criteria) and TCF7L2 rs7903146 were included. MetaGenyo was used for meta-analysis (random effects model). Pooled odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were reported to evaluate the strengths of association.
