Abstract Background: In Europeans and populations of European origin, several groups have recently identified novel type 2 diabetes susceptibility genes, including FTO, SLC30A8, HHEX, CDKAL1, CDKN2B, and IGF2BP2, none of which were in the list of functional candidates. Objective and Design: The aim of this study was to replicate in a Japanese population previously identified associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 10 candidate loci with type 2 diabetes using a relatively large sample size: 1921 subjects with type 2 diabetes and 1622 normal controls. Results: A total of 15 SNPs were genotyped. Eight SNPs in five loci were found to be associated with type 2 diabetes: rs3802177 [odds ratio (OR) = 1.16 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05–1.27); P = 4.5 × 10−3] in SLC30A8; rs1111875 [OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.14–1.40); P = 1.4 × 10−5] and rs7923837 [OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.13–1.43); P = 1.0 × 10−4] in HHEX; rs10811661 [OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.15–1.40); P = 1.9 × 10−6] in CDKN2B; rs4402960 [OR = 1.23 (95% CI 1.11–1.36); P = 8.1 × 10−5] and rs1470579 [OR = 1.18 (95% CI 1.07–1.31); P = 8.3 × 10−4] in IGF2BP2; and rs7754840 [OR = 1.28 (95% CI 1.17–1.41); P = 4.5 × 10−7] and rs7756992 [OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.15–1.40); P = 9.8 × 10−7] in CDKAL1. The first and second strongest associations were found at variants in CDKAL1 and CDKN2B, both of which are involved in the regenerative capacity of pancreatic β-cells. Conclusion: Some of these variants represent common type 2 diabetes-susceptibility genes in both Japanese and Europeans.

Key Factor

Diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) is a growing burden in the global public health and economic systems. Older adults are more than two times predisposed to T2DM and they are more likely to develop T2DM-related complications. A complex interaction of genes, diet and environment is a key factor in the development of this chronic metabolic disorder. With nutrigenomics, researchers are beginning to understand this interaction. This review aims at examining gene-diet relationships concerning T2DM as well as the applications and potential of nutrigenomics in managing geriatric type 2 diabetes. Several genome-wide association studies have documented susceptibility genes for T2DM. Among these genes are TCFL2, PPARGγ, CAP 10, ADBR3, DPARGCIA, and ENPP genes. Several bioactive compounds in foods have also been shown to act as switches on T2DM susceptibility genes, aiding in the progression or inhibition of the disease. These findings have helped in developing nutritional recommendations that are relevant to the management of T2DM particularly in carriers of these susceptibility genes. In this comprehensive review, the current trends, and prospects of nutrigenomics as an intervention for geriatric diabetes is explained.

The large scale genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified approximately 80 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) conferring susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, most of these loci have not been replicated in diverse populations and much genetic heterogeneity has been observed across ethnic groups. We tested 28 SNPs previously found to be associated with T2D by GWAS in a Mongolian sample of Northern China (497 diagnosed with T2D and 469 controls) for association with T2D and diabetes related quantitative traits. We replicated T2D association of 11 SNPs, namely, rs7578326 (IRS1), rs1531343 (HMGA2), rs8042680 (PRC1), rs7578597 (THADA), rs1333051 (CDKN2), rs6723108 (TMEM163), rs163182 and rs2237897 (KCNQ1), rs1387153 (MTNR1B), rs243021 (BCL11A), and rs10229583 (PAX4) in our sample. Further, we showed that risk allele of the strongest T2D associated SNP in our sample, rs757832 (IRS1), is associated with increased level of TG. We observed substantial difference of T2D risk allele frequency between the Mongolian sample and the 1000G Caucasian sample for a few SNPs, including rs6723108 (TMEM163) whose risk allele reaches near fixation in the Mongolian sample. Further study of genetic architecture of these variants in susceptibility of T2D is needed to understand the role of these variants in heterogeneous populations.

Abstract Several reports have suggested that genetic susceptibility contributes to the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy. We aimed to identify genetic loci that confer susceptibility to diabetic retinopathy in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. We analysed 5 790 508 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 8880 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes, 4839 retinopathy cases and 4041 controls, as well as 2217 independent Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes, 693 retinopathy cases, and 1524 controls. The results of these two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were combined with an inverse variance meta-analysis (Stage-1), followed by de novo genotyping for the candidate SNP loci (p < 1.0 × 10−4) in an independent case–control study (Stage-2, 2260 cases and 723 controls). After combining the association data (Stage-1 and -2) using meta-analysis, the associations of two loci reached a genome-wide significance level: rs12630354 near STT3B on chromosome 3, p = 1.62 × 10−9, odds ratio (OR) = 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.11–1.23, and rs140508424 within PALM2 on chromosome 9, p = 4.19 × 10−8, OR = 1.61, 95% CI 1.36–1.91. However, the association of these two loci were not replicated in Korean, European, or African American populations. Gene-based analysis using Stage-1 GWAS data identified a gene-level association of EHD3 with susceptibility to diabetic retinopathy (p = 2.17 × 10−6). In conclusion, we identified two novel SNP loci, STT3B and PALM2, and a novel gene, EHD3, that confers susceptibility to diabetic retinopathy; however, further replication studies are required to validate these associations.
