Genetic aspects of type 1 glucagon peptide agonists clinical efficacy: A review

Abstract

A review of publications devoted to the analysis of genetic polymorphisms of the gene encoding the glucagon-like peptide type 1 receptor and some other genes directly and indirectly involved in the implementation of its physiological action is presented. The aim of the study: to search for information on genes polymorphism that can affect the effectiveness of glucagon-like peptide type 1 agonists. The review was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 recommendations, the search for publications was based on PubMed databases (including Medline), Web of Science, as well as Russian scientific electronic source eLIBRARY.RU from 1993 to 2022. The several genes polymorphisms (GLP1R, TCF7L2, CNR1, SORCS1, WFS1, PPARD, CTRB1/2) that may affect the course and therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and obesity, was described. Single nucleotide substitutions in some regions of these genes can both decrease and increase the clinical efficacy of the treatment of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome with the help of type 1 glucagon-like peptide agonists: exenatide, liraglutide. Data on the role of genetic variations in the structure of the products of these genes in the effectiveness of other type 1 glucacone-like peptide agonists have not been found.
