BACKGROUND: New-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is one of the major complications after transplantation and is associated with reduced overall patient and graft survival. The objective of this study was to determine the genetic and clinical risk factors for NODAT in Hispanic kidney transplant recipients. METHODS: Hispanic kidney allograft recipients without evidence of preexisting diabetes who developed NODAT (n=133) were studied using Hispanic kidney transplant recipients with no evidence of diabetes as a control group (n=170). NODAT was defined as fasting glucose levels ≥126 mg/dL on two or more occasions or patients taking any insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents 1 month or later after kidney transplantation. Fourteen alleles in nine genes were genotyped and other patients' clinical data with genotype data were analyzed by logistic regression. RESULTS: Among 14 alleles, hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4A) AA (rs2144908, odds ratio [OR]=1.96, confidence interval [CI]=1.08-3.50, P=0.010), HNF4A TT (rs1884614, OR=2.44, CI=1.42-4.48, P=0.002), and insulin receptor substrate 1 AA+AG (rs1801278, OR=2.71, CI=1.16-6.89, P=0.021) remained significant after logistic regression. Among the clinical factors, average age (OR=1.01, CI=1.00-1.08, P=0.048), sirolimus (OR=5.36, CI=3.02-10.4, P=0.001), deceased donor (OR=1.96, CI=1.16-2.94, P=0.015), and acute rejection (OR=2.92, CI=1.31-5.77, P=0.009) remained significant after logistic regression. CONCLUSION: This study indicates that polymorphism of two alleles of HNF-4A gene (rs2144908 and rs1884614) and insulin receptor substrate 1 (rs1801278) are significantly associated with NODAT in kidney transplant patients with Hispanic ethnicity. In the case of clinical factors, older age (>50 year), deceased donor type, acute rejection, and sirolimus use are associated with NODAT in Hispanic kidney transplant recipients.
