G-allele of intronic rs10830963 in MTNR1B confers increased risk of impaired fasting glycemia and type 2 diabetes through an impaired glucose-stimulated insulin release: studies involving 19,605 Europeans.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Genome-wide association studies have identified several variants within the MTNR1B locus that are associated with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and type 2 diabetes. We refined the association signal by direct genotyping and examined for associations of the variant displaying the most independent effect on FPG with isolated impaired fasting glycemia (i-IFG), isolated impaired glucose tolerance (i-IGT), type 2 diabetes, and measures of insulin release and peripheral and hepatic insulin sensitivity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS:We examined European-descent participants in the Inter99 study (n = 5,553), in a sample of young healthy Danes (n = 372), in Danish twins (n = 77 elderly and n = 97 young), in additional Danish type 2 diabetic patients (n = 1,626) and control subjects (n = 505), in the Data from the Epidemiological Study on the Insulin Resistance Syndrome (DESIR) study (n = 4,656), in the North Finland Birth Cohort 86 (n = 5,258), and in the Haguenau study (n = 1,461). RESULTS:The MTNR1B intronic variant, rs10830963, carried most of the effect on FPG and showed the strongest association with FPG (combined P = 5.3 x 10(-31)) and type 2 diabetes. The rs10830963 G-allele increased the risk of i-IFG (odds ratio [OR] 1.64, P = 5.5 x 10(-11)) but not i-IGT. The G-allele was associated with a decreased insulin release after oral and intravenous glucose challenges (P < 0.01) but not after injection of tolbutamide. In elderly twins, the G-allele associated with hepatic insulin resistance (P = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS:The G-allele of MTNR1B rs10830963 increases risk of type 2 diabetes through a state of i-IFG and not through i-IGT. The same allele associates with estimates of beta-cell dysfunction and hepatic insulin resistance.

Project description:BackgroundThe MTNR1B gene encodes a receptor for melatonin, a hormone regulating biorhythms. Disruptions in biorhythms contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Genetic studies suggest that variability in the MTNR1B gene affects T2DM development. Our aim was to compare the distribution of the genetic variant rs10830963 between persons differing in glucose tolerance in a sample of the Czech population (N=1206). We also evaluated possible associations of the polymorphism with insulin sensitivity, beta cell function, with the shape of glucose, insulin and C-peptide trajectories measured 7 times during a 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and with glucagon response. In a subgroup of 268 volunteers we also evaluated sleep patterns and biorhythm.Results13 persons were diagnosed with T2DM, 119 had impaired fasting blood glucose (IFG) and/or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). 1074 participants showed normal results and formed a control group. A higher frequency of minor allele G was found in the IFG/IGT group in comparison with controls. The GG constellation was present in 23% of diabetics, in 17% of IFG/IGT probands and in 11% of controls. Compared to CC and CG genotypes, GG homozygotes showed higher stimulated glycemia levels during the OGTT. Homozygous as well as heterozygous carriers of the G allele showed lower very early phase of insulin and C-peptide secretion with unchanged insulin sensitivity. These differences remained significant after excluding diabetics and the IFG/IGT group from the analysis. No associations of the genotype with the shape of OGTT-based trajectories, with glucagon or with chronobiological patterns were observed. However, the shape of the trajectories differed significantly between men and women.ConclusionIn a representative sample of the Czech population, the G allele of the rs10830963 polymorphism is associated with impaired early phase of beta cell function, and this is evident even in healthy individuals.
