Transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) has been shown to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus in multiple ethnic groups. Regarding the Asian population, Horikoshi et al. (Diabetologia 50:747-751, 2007) and Hayashi et al. (Diabetologia 50:980-984, 2007) reported that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in TCF7L2 were associated with type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population, while contradictory results were reported for Han Chinese populations. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of the TCF7L2 gene with type 2 diabetes using a relatively large sample size: 2,214 Japanese individuals with type 2 diabetes and 1,873 normal controls. The minor alleles of rs7903146, rs11196205, and rs12255372 showed significant associations with type 2 diabetes (OR=1.48, P=2.7 x 10(-4); OR=1.39, P=4.6 x 10(-4); OR=1.70, P=9.8 x 10(-5), respectively) in the combined sample sets. However, neither rs11196218 nor rs290487 showed a significant association. These results indicate that TCF7L2 is an important susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population.
转录因子7样2(TCF7L2)已被证明在多个种族群体中与2型糖尿病相关。关于亚洲人群,堀越等人(《糖尿病学》50:747 - 751,2007年)和林等人(《糖尿病学》50:980 - 984,2007年)报道,TCF7L2中的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)与日本人群中的2型糖尿病相关,而对于汉族人群则报道了相互矛盾的结果。本研究的目的是使用相对较大的样本量来研究TCF7L2基因与2型糖尿病的关联:2214名日本2型糖尿病患者和1873名正常对照。在合并样本集中,rs7903146、rs11196205和rs12255372的次要等位基因与2型糖尿病显示出显著关联(OR = 1.48,P = 2.7×10⁻⁴;OR = 1.39,P = 4.6×10⁻⁴;OR = 1.70,P = 9.8×10⁻⁵)。然而,rs11196218和rs290487均未显示出显著关联。这些结果表明,TCF7L2是日本人群中2型糖尿病的一个重要易感基因。
