Genomewide Search for Type 2 Diabetes–Susceptibility Genes in French Whites: Evidence for a Novel Susceptibility Locus for Early-Onset Diabetes on Chromosome 3q27-qter and Independent Replication of a Type 2–Diabetes Locus on Chromosome 1q21–q24

Abstract: Despite recent advances in the molecular genetics of type 2 diabetes, the majority of susceptibility genes in humans remain to be identified. We therefore conducted a 10-cM genomewide search (401 microsatellite markers) for type 2 diabetes-related traits in 637 members of 143 French pedigrees ascertained through multiple diabetic siblings, to map such genes in the white population. Nonparametric two-point and multipoint linkage analyzes-using the MAPMAKER-SIBS (MLS) and MAXIMUM-BINOMIAL-LIKELIHOOD (MLB) progra… Show more

“…In our previous linkage studies based on two selections of French diabetic families, we found moderate significance of linkage to diabetes with a locus near ADA-HNF4α on chromosome 20q13 (MLS=1.72 and 1.81) [1,12]. The highest peak near the marker D20S213 lies 3.5 Mb apart from the genomic location of the HNF4α gene (from UCSC Genome Browser, July 2003).…”

“…This region encodes adiponectin, a 30 kDa protein secreted exclusively by white adipose tissue (WAT), which is capable of increasing insulin sensitivity, stimulating fatty acid oxidation and inhibiting the vascular inflammatory process. 13,14 Skeletal muscle plays an important role in the clearance of blood-free fatty acids and triglyceride, and in whole-body fatty acid oxidation, and CPT is the rate-limiting step for fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis. 15 Dysregulation of these cytokines can accelerate the process of fat accumulation and glucose intolerance.…”

“…Regions of linkage in several reports overlap with those observed in this HyperGEN analysis. On chromosome 19, linkage was detected at 18 cM for fasting insulin in Pima Indians (LOD 1.33) [23], and for type 2 diabetes and glucose intolerance in young-onset French families at 36 cM (LOD 1.26) [24]. Linkage with fasting glucose, and combined fasting and non-fasting glucose, was detected on chromosome 5 at 0 cM in the Framingham Offspring Study (LOD 1.09) [6], and Framingham Heart Study (LOD 1.65) [25].…”
