Association of 18 Confirmed Susceptibility Loci for Type 2 Diabetes With Indices of Insulin Release, Proinsulin Conversion, and Insulin Sensitivity in 5,327 Nondiabetic Finnish Men
OBJECTIVE We investigated the effects of 18 confirmed type 2 diabetes risk single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, and conversion of proinsulin to insulin. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 5,327 nondiabetic men (age 58 +/- 7 years, BMI 27.0 +/- 3.8 kg/m(2)) from a large population-based cohort were included. Oral glucose tolerance tests and geno...
متن کاملCommon Variants in CDKAL1, CDKN2A/B, IGF2BP2, SLC30A8, and HHEX/IDE Genes Are Associated With Type 2 Diabetes and Impaired Fasting Glucose in a Chinese Han Population
OBJECTIVE Genome-wide association studies have identified common variants in CDKAL1, CDKN2A/B, IGF2BP2, SLC30A8, HHEX/IDE, EXT2, and LOC387761 loci that significantly increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. We aimed to replicate these observations in a population-based cohort of Chinese Hans and examine the associations of these variants with type 2 diabetes and diabetes-related phenotypes. RES...
متن کاملAre polymorphisms in MTRR A66G and MTHFR C677T genes associated with congenital heart diseases in Iranian population?
Background: The 5, 10-methyleneterahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and methionine synthase reductase (MTRR) are two essential enzymes involved in folate metabolism. The relationship between genetic polymorphisms and congenital heart defects (CHDs) is inconsistent. Our aim was to investigate the association between two well-known polymorphisms of MTHFR and MTRR genes, C677T and A66G, respectively,...
متن کاملVariants from GIPR, TCF7L2, DGKB, MADD, CRY2, GLIS3, PROX1, SLC30A8 and IGF1 Are Associated with Glucose Metabolism in the Chinese
BACKGROUND Recent meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in European descent samples identified novel loci influencing glucose and insulin related traits. In the current study, we aimed to evaluate the association between these loci and traits related to glucose metabolism in the Chinese. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We genotyped seventeen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from f...
متن کاملSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms within Calcineurin-Encoding Genes are Associated with Response to Aerobic Training in Han Chinese Males
Calcineurin, which functions in calcium signaling, is expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle and has been linked to sensitivity to muscle strength training. It is also proposed to contribute to individual aerobic endurance. To investigate the relationship between calcineurin-encoding genes and aerobic endurance traits, 126 young-adult Han Chinese males were enrolled in an aerobic exercise tra...
