Genome‐wide interaction with the insulin secretion locus MTNR1B reveals CMIP as a novel type 2 diabetes susceptibility gene in African Americans
AssociationN=6,224Jacob M. Keaton et al.(2018)· Genetic Epidemiology

This genome-wide interaction analysis in 6,224 African Americans identified CMIP rs17197883 as a novel type 2 diabetes susceptibility locus through interaction with the insulin secretion variant MTNR1B rs10830963. The CMIP variant showed antagonistic interaction (P_INTXN = 1.43×10^-8) with opposite effects depending on MTNR1B carrier status: OR = 2.29 (95% CI 1.59-3.28) in AIRg-lowering allele carriers vs. OR = 0.78 (95% CI 0.67-0.90) in non-carriers.

About TCF7L2

This gene encodes a high mobility group (HMG) box-containing transcription factor that plays a key role in the Wnt signaling pathway. The protein has been implicated in blood glucose homeostasis. Genetic variants of this gene are associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Several transcript variants encoding multiple different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
