Population-Specific Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Conferred by HNF4A P2 Promoter Variants
OBJECTIVE Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the P2 promoter region of HNF4A were originally shown to be associated with predisposition for type 2 diabetes in Finnish, Ashkenazi, and, more recently, Scandinavian populations, but they generated conflicting results in additional populations. We aimed to investigate whether data from a large-scale mapping approach would replicate this assoc...
متن کاملPersistent Hyperinsulinaemic Hypoglycaemia and Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) due to Heterozygous HNF4A Mutations
Objective: Mutations in the human HNF4A gene encoding the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF-4α) are known to cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), which is characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance and impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic ß-cells. HNF-4α has a key role in regulating the multiple transcriptional factor networks in the islet. Recen...
متن کاملHepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha P2 promoter variants associate with insulin resistance.
This study aimed to investigate the associations of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF4) alpha single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotype with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome parameters. Nine SNPs spanning the HNF4 alpha P2 promoter (rs4810424, rs1884613 and rs1884614) and coding region (rs2144908, rs6031551, rs6031552, rs1885088, rs1028583 and rs3818247) were genotyped in 160...
متن کاملThe Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 alpha ( HNF1A) gene is associated with fatness and loin muscle area in the pig.
The significance of hepatocyte nuclear factors (HNFs) in β-cell development and function has been generally recognized in humans, as evidenced by their associations with cases of maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY). Common Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 alpha (HNF1A), Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 beta (HNF1B) and Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4 alpha (HNF4A) mutations could lead to monogenic fo...
متن کاملStudies in 3,523 Norwegians and meta-analysis in 11,571 subjects indicate that variants in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4A) P2 region are associated with type 2 diabetes in Scandinavians.
OBJECTIVE Recent publications have found an association between common variants near the hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4A) P2 promoter and type 2 diabetes in some populations but not in others, and the role for HNF4A in type 2 diabetes has remained unclear. In an attempt to address these inconsistencies, we investigated HNF4A single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a large population-...
