Association of genetic variants for susceptibility to obesity with type 2 diabetes in Japanese individuals
AssociationN=18,264Takeuchi F. et al.(2011)· Diabetologia

Replication study of 14 obesity-associated SNPs from 13 loci in 18,264 Japanese participants, confirming associations at 11 loci including TMEM18 (rs4854344, p=7.1×10⁻⁷ for BMI), FTO, MC4R, BDNF, and others. Six obesity variants also associated with type 2 diabetes after BMI adjustment (OR 1.05-1.17), with FTO showing strong meta-analyzed association in East Asians (OR 1.13, p=7.8×10⁻¹⁰).
