Abstract
Serum irisin levels were lower in diabetic patients compared to controls and this decrease was more pronounced in diabetic nephropathy. Irisin correlates with metabolic parameters and renal functions. Frequencies of T allele and TT genotype were significantly lower among T2DM and diabetic nephropathy patients compared to controls. Moreover, G allele was associated with elevated insulin resistance and dyslipidemia without effect on circulating irisin levels. In conclusion: T2DM and diabetic nephropathy are associated with decreased levels of irisin. FNDC5 rs16835198 TT genotype associates with decreased risk of T2DM in Egyptians with no effect on renal complications. Also, G allele has insulin desensitizing action with no association with circulating irisin levels.
