This study aimed at understanding the predictive potential of genetic risk scores (GRS) for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) progression in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Major Cardiovascular Events (MCVE) and All-Cause Mortality (ACM) as secondary outcomes. We evaluated 30 T2DM and CKD GWAS-derived single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and their association with clinical outcomes in a central European cohort (n = 400 patients). Our univariate Cox analysis revealed significant associations of age, duration of diabetes, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol and eGFR with progression of DKD (all P < 0.05). However, no single SNP was conclusively associated with progression to DKD, with only CERS2 and SHROOM3 approaching statistical significance. While a single SNP was associated with MCVE - WSF1 (P = 0.029), several variants were associated with ACM - specifically CANCAS1, CERS2 and C9 (all P < 0.02). Our GRS did not outperform classical clinical factors in predicting progression to DKD, MCVE or ACM. More precisely, we observed an increase only in the area under the curve (AUC) in the model combining genetic and clinical factors compared to the clinical model alone, with values of 0.582 (95 % CI 0.487-0.676) and 0.645 (95 % CI 0.556-0.735), respectively. However, this difference did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.06). This study highlights the complexity of genetic predictors and their interplay with clinical factors in DKD progression. Despite the promise of personalised medicine through genetic markers, our findings suggest that current clinical factors remain paramount in the prediction of DKD. In conclusion, our results indicate that GWAS-derived GRSs for T2DM and CKD do not offer improved predictive ability over traditional clinical factors in the studied Czech T2DM population.

Background: Women with gestational diabetes (GDM) have an increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MS) after delivery. MS could precede gravidity. The aims of this study were (i) to detect the prevalence of MS in women at the time of GDM diagnosis, (ii) to detect the prevalence of MS in the subgroup of GDM patients with any form of impaired glucose tolerance after delivery (PGI), and (iii) to determine whether GDM women with MS have a higher risk of peripartal adverse outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study comprised n = 455 women with GDM. International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria for MS definition were modified to the pregnancy situation. Results: MS was detected in 22.6% of GDM patients in those with PGI 40%. The presence of MS in GDM patients was associated with two peripartal outcomes: higher incidence of pathologic Apgar score and macrosomia (p = 0.01 resp. p = 0.0004, chi-square). Conclusions: The presence of MS in GDM patients is a statistically significant risk factor (p = 0.04 chi-square) for PGI. A strong clinical implication of our findings might be to include MS diagnostics within GDM screening using modified MS criteria in the second trimester of pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a prototypical complex disease with polygenic architecture playing an important role in determining susceptibility to develop the disease (and its complications) in subjects exposed to modifiable lifestyle factors. A current challenge is to quantify the degree of the individual's genetic risk using genetic risk scores (GRS) capturing the results of genome-wide association studies while incorporating possible ethnicity- or population-specific differences. METHODS: This study included three groups of T2DM (T2DM-I, N = 1,032; T2DM-II, N = 353; and T2DM-III, N = 399) patients and 2,481 diabetes-free subjects. The status of the microvascular and macrovascular diabetes complications were known for the T2DM-I patients. Overall, 21 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were analyzed, and selected subsets were used to determine the GRS (both weighted - wGRS and unweighted - uGRS) for T2DM risk predictions (6 SNPs) and for predicting the risks of complications (7 SNPs). RESULTS: The strongest T2DM markers (P < 0.0001) were within the genes for TCF7L2 (transcription factor 7-like 2), FTO (fat mass and obesity associated protein) and ARAP1 (ankyrin repeat and PH domain 1). The T2DM-I subjects with uGRS values greater (Odds Ratio, 95 % Confidence Interval) than six had at least twice (2.00, 1.72-2.32) the risk of T2DM development (P < 0.0001), and these results were confirmed in the independent groups (T2DM-II 1.82, 1.45-2.27; T2DM-III 2.63, 2.11-3.27). The wGRS (>0.6) further improved (P < 0.000001) the risk estimations for all three T2DM groups. The uGRS was also a significant predictor of neuropathy (P < 0.0001), nephropathy (P < 0.005) and leg ischemia (P < 0.0005). CONCLUSIONS: If carefully selected and specified, GRS, both weighted and unweighted, could be significant predictors of T2DM development, as well as the diabetes complications development.
