Genetic variant near IRS1 is associated with type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia

Abstract: Genome-wide association studies have identified common variants that only partially explain the genetic risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Using genome-wide association data from 1,376 French individuals, we identified 16,360 SNPs nominally associated with T2D and studied these SNPs in an independent sample of 4,977 French individuals. We then selected the 28 best hits for replication in 7,698 Danish subjects and identified 4 SNPs showing strong association with T2D, one of which (rs2943641, P = 9.3 x 10(-12), OR… Show more

“…So far, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and subsequent meta-analysis have identified 23 validated risk loci influencing risk of type 2 diabetes [1][2][3]. While many common gene variants have shown an influence on estimates of beta cell function, only few variants have an impact on insulin resistance [2,[4][5][6][7].…”

“…For example, the major allele of the lead single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the IRS1 locus is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia [4], along with decreased HDL-C, increased TG, and increased risk of CAD. It remains unclear which of the metabolic risk factors are responsible for the increased CAD risk.…”

“…In the present study, the association of T2DM with 38 SNPs, that were previously identified and confirmed by genome wide association studies of European (32 SNPs) (1,(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) and South Asian (6 SNPs) (2) populations, was investigated in the Saudi population (RIYADH cohort). Among the 37SNPs passing quality control measures, 8 SNPs showed significant association with T2DM at the nominal level (P<0.05) and two other SNPs showed borderline significant associations.…”
