Genetic variability in GLP-1 receptor is associated with inter-individual differences in weight lowering potential of liraglutide in obese women with PCOS: a pilot study
AssociationN=57Mojca Jensterle et al.(2015)· European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology

This pilot study investigated genetic variability in the GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and its association with weight loss response to liraglutide in 57 obese women with PCOS. Carriers of at least one polymorphic rs10305420 T allele showed significantly worse treatment response (OR=0.27, P=0.025), while carriers of rs6923761 A allele tended toward better response (OR=3.06, P=0.058). The GLP-1R CA haplotype was associated with significantly better response (OR=3.85, P=0.020).

About GLP1R

This gene encodes a 7-transmembrane protein that functions as a receptor for glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) hormone, which stimulates glucose-induced insulin secretion. This receptor, which functions at the cell surface, becomes internalized in response to GLP-1 and GLP-1 analogs, and it plays an important role in the signaling cascades leading to insulin secretion. It also displays neuroprotective effects in animal models. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with diabetes. The protein is an important drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and stroke. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016]
