▶Candidate gene association study of type 2 diabetes in a nested case‐control study of the EPIC‐Potsdam cohort – Role of fat assimilationAssociationN=576Eva Fisher et al.(2007)· Molecular Nutrition & Food Research
Candidate gene association study screening 15 genes involved in fat assimilation for type 2 diabetes susceptibility. In 192 cases and 384 controls from EPIC-Potsdam, six SNPs showed significant associations: FABP6 Thr79Met (rs1130435, OR=0.45, 95% CI 0.22-0.92) showed the strongest protective effect; DBI rs2084202 and rs8192506 (Met71Val), PTGES2 rs13283456 (Arg298His, OR=0.64), SLC27A5 promoter variant (OR=0.54), and novel CLPS Ala109Cys variant (OR=5.83) also associated with diabetes risk. Results provide preliminary evidence for fat assimilation genes in type 2 diabetes susceptibility but require further verification.
About GIP
This gene encodes an incretin hormone and belongs to the glucagon superfamily. The encoded protein is important in maintaining glucose homeostasis as it is a potent stimulator of insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells following food ingestion and nutrient absorption. This gene stimulates insulin secretion via its G protein-coupled receptor activation of adenylyl cyclase and other signal transduction pathways. It is a relatively poor inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
