  • Introduction: It is widely accepted that type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder, the main characteristic of which is insulin resistance and gradual beta-cell dysfunction. It seems that oxidative stress and low plasma selenoprotein (SelS) levels are associated with an increased risk of diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate rs34713741 polymorphism in a population of diabetics and its relationship with glucose, SelS, and oxidative stress levels.
  • Methods: This case-control research was performed on 122 patients with type 2 diabetes and 106 healthy individuals from the Diabetes clinics in Tehran (Iran). We determined the levels of glucose, malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and HbA1C and measured lipid profile and SelS levels. The (rs 34713741)-254C
  • Results: In this study, there was a significant relationship between CT and TT genotype of (rs 34713741)-254C
  • Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, there was a relationship between rs34713741 polymorphism and type 2 diabetes. In addition, the T allele of the rs34713741 polymorphism had an impact on patients with type 2 diabetes.
