This genome-wide association study of type 2 diabetes in 967 Mexican cases and 343 normoglycaemic controls, meta-analyzed with a Mexican-American sample (1,804 cases, 780 controls), identified genome-wide significant associations (p<5×10⁻⁸) in HNF1A (rs7305618, OR=1.69) and CDKN2A/CDKN2B (rs1333051, OR=1.32), with suggestive associations in IGF2BP2 (rs1374910, OR=1.30), KCNQ1 (rs2237892, OR=1.26), and a novel locus near C14orf70 (rs730570, OR=1.21). Follow-up in the DIAGRAM+ European dataset confirmed HNF1A and KCNQ1 regions.
About IGF2BP2
This gene encodes a protein that binds the 5' UTR of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA and regulates its translation. It plays an important role in metabolism and variation in this gene is associated with susceptibility to diabetes. Alternative splicing and promoter usage results in multiple transcript variants. Related pseudogenes are found on several chromosomes. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
