    Abstract:
    The latest studies in Algeria show that the frequency of type 1 diabetes (T1D) without complications is lower than that with complications and represents a significant burden in terms of cost and treatment. For this reason, we are interested in uncomplicated type1 diabetes and risk factors that are related to polymorphisms of antioxidant enzymes in order to prevent its complications. A total of 260 blood samples of young Algerian adults were examined. The genotypic analysis of Catalase gene (CAT -262C/T, rs1001179) and the superoxide dismutase gene (MnSOD 47C/T, rs4880) was performed by real-time PCR using TaqMan technology. The genotypic distribution of the CAT -262C/T promoter gene's polymorphism showed a significant difference between control and T1D patients for the CC genotype (p = 0.009; OR = 0.30) and for the T allele (p = 0.002; OR = 2.82). In addition, the genotypic distribution of the MnSOD 47C/T gene showed an association with T1D for the CT genotype (p = 0.040; OR = 2.37). Our results revealed that polymorphisms of CAT and MnSOD may be associated with physiopathology causing the onset of T1D. Our data, suggest that the genotypic frequencies of these SNPs appear to be influenced by clinical variables and by the Arab-Berber ethnic origin of the Algerian population.
