Background: We investigated whether interactions of the -308G/A polymorphism in the promoter region of the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) gene with single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 45 and 276 of the adiponectin gene are associated with circulating adiponectin and soluble TNF-a receptor 2 (sTNFR2) concentrations in a Spanish population. Methods: We performed anthropometric and physiologic measurements in 809 unrelated participants recruited with a simple random sampling approach from respondents to a cross-sectional population-based epidemiologic survey in the province of Segovia in central Spain (Castille). Results: The 2-h postload glucose and serum insulin concentrations were higher in -308A allele carriers than in -308G/G individuals homozygous for the TNF-a gene. Plasma concentrations of sTNFR2 were positively correlated with body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, and sagittal abdominal diameter among individuals with type 2 diabetes. Individuals with type 2 diabetes and the -308A allele had higher sTNFR2 and lower adiponectin concentrations than -308G homozygotes. Moreover, individuals carrying both the TNF-alpha -308A allele and the G allele of SNP 45 in the adiponectin gene had the highest prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance (adjusted odds ratio, 1.26; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.56; P = 0.038) and had lower adiponectin concentrations (beta = -0.090; P = 0.005) than individuals without these genotypes. Conclusions: Our findings are the first to indicate that a higher incidence of impaired glucose tolerance and low circulating adiponectin concentration may be associated with interaction between the -308G/A promoter polymorphism of the TNF-alpha gene and SNP 45 in the adiponectin gene.
