Transethnic insight into the genetics of glycaemic traits: fine-mapping results from the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) consortium

AssociationN=26,760Stephanie A. Bien et al.(2017)· Diabetologia

Transethnic fine-mapping study of glycaemic traits in 26,760 participants (Hispanic/Latino, African, Asian, and Native American) using the Metabochip. Replicated 31/39 fasting glucose and 14/17 fasting insulin loci from European GWAS. Identified two novel secondary signals at G6PC2-rs477224 and GCK-rs2908290, a population-specific signal at G6PC2-rs77719485 in African ancestry, and one novel locus at SLC17A2-rs75862513 for fasting insulin.

Association of glycosylated hemoglobin with the gene encoding CDKAL1 in the Korean Association Resource (KARE) study

Meta-analysisN=159,940Jihye Ryu et al.(2012)· Human Mutation

Transethnic genome-wide meta-analysis in 159,940 individuals identified 60 common genetic variants associated with HbA1c levels. Variants were classified as glycemic (19), erythrocytic (22), or unclassified (19) based on their biological mechanisms. Glycemic variants were associated with higher type 2 diabetes risk (OR=1.05 per allele, p=3×10⁻²⁹), while erythrocytic variants were not. The X-linked G6PD G202A variant showed a large effect in African Americans (0.81% HbA1c reduction per allele) but minimal effects in other ancestries, potentially causing 2% of African American T2D cases to remain undiagnosed when using HbA1c screening.
