Fatty acid binding protein 2 (FABP2) is involved in the transport of long chain fatty acids across the intestinal epithelium. A common (40-45%) polymorphism of FABP2 gene (codon 54 Threonine for Alanine) results in increased intestinal fatty acid absorption and triglyceride secretion (Baier et al J Clin Invest 95:1281-87, 1995; Baier et al J Biol Chem 271: 10892-10896,1996). We have found (JCEM 85:3155-60, 2000) that in patients with type 2 diabetes, the codon 54 polymorphism of the FABP2 results in fasting and postprandial hypertriglyceridemia. Since hypertriglyceridemia is a risk factor for atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes and it is part of the insulin resistance syndrome, the objective of this ancillary study would be to screen the participants of the CSP# 465 study for the polymorphism and assess a) whether those carrying the polymorphism respond differently to the various treatment modalities and b) whether they develop more cardiovascular events compared to the ones lacking the polymorphism. There is one study that suggests an association of the polymorphism with a history of parental stroke (JCEM 85:2801-4, 2000).

The only additional request from the study participants will be to agree to the collection of a blood sample to be used for DNA isolation and screening for the polymorphism. No additional funds are requested. If this polymorphism proves to be a predictor of either the response to a specific treatment modality or of the risk to macro-vascular complications, it will be very easy to screen for it and target our treatment modalities appropriately.

Fatty acid binding protein 2 (FABP2) is involved in the transport of long chain fatty acids across the intestinal epithelium. A common (40-45%) polymorphism of FABP2 gene (codon 54 Threonine for Alanine) results in increased intestinal fatty acid absorption and triglyceride secretion (Baier et al J Clin Invest 95:1281-87, 1995; Baier et al J Biol Chem 271: 10892-10896,1996). We have found (JCEM 85:3155-60, 2000) that in patients with type 2 diabetes, the codon 54 polymorphism of the FABP2 results in fasting and postprandial hypertriglyceridemia. Since hypertriglyceridemia is a risk factor for atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes and it is part of the insulin resistance syndrome, the objective of this ancillary study would be to screen the participants of the CSP# 465 study for the polymorphism and assess a) whether those carrying the polymorphism respond differently to the various treatment modalities and b) whether they develop more cardiovascular events compared to the ones lacking the polymorphism. There is one study that suggests an association of the polymorphism with a history of parental stroke (JCEM 85:2801-4, 2000).

The only additional request from the study participants will be to agree to the collection of a blood sample to be used for DNA isolation and screening for the polymorphism. No additional funds are requested. If this polymorphism proves to be a predictor of either the response to a specific treatment modality or of the risk to macro-vascular complications, it will be very easy to screen for it and target our treatment modalities appropriately.

The data was not analyzed therefore there will be no results for this record/study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by US Department of Veterans Affairs at 16 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 16 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary outcome measure will be to determine if DNA characteristics are associated with CV risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus. (time frame: End of study.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 May 2014.
