Methods: 216 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), 92 males, 124 females, 194 normal controls, 89 males and 105 females. The polymorphism of TCF7L2 gene rs7903146 was measured by PCR-RFLP. PCR amplifier was used for amplification reaction, followed by polymorphism analysis of TCF7L2 gene: the reaction system was 20 ¦Ìl, among which restriction endonuclease was 0.5 ¦Ìl and PCR product was 7.5 ¦Ìl. Restriction enzyme SspI (Fermentas) was used for PCR product and was bathed at 37¡ãC for 16 h. The enzyme digestion products were detected and genotypes were identified by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. The genotyping was repeated in 10% of the samples, and the genotyping rate was 100%. Height and weight were measured and BMI calculated. According to BMI, the experimental group was further divided into the obese group (n = 137, BMI > 25 kg/m2) and the normal body mass group (n = 79, BMI < 25 kgm2). Normal control group: BMI < 25 kgm2: FBG < 6.1 mmol/L and 2 h BG < 7.8 mmol/L after meal. Finally, SPSS18.0 software was used for analysis. Results: FBG, 2 h BG, FIN and Lg homa-ir showed significant differences between the control group and the T2DM groups (P < 0.01), while no statistical difference was found between the other parameters (P > 0.05). There was a significant difference in genotype frequency between the control group and the experimental group (¦Ö2 = 17.382, P < 0.001), but no significant difference in allele frequency between the control group and the T2DM group (P > 0.05). Genotype frequency at BMI level was significantly different between the control group and the T2DM group (¦Ö2 = 20.427, P = 0.001), but there was no significant difference in allele frequency distribution (P > 0.05). The TT type and TC + CC type were significantly different between the T2DM group and the control group (¦Ö2 = 78.154, P = 0.006) and the T2DM obesity group and the control group (¦Ö2 = 7.247, P = 0.009), but there was no significant difference between the T2DM normal body mass group and the control group (P > 0.05).
