Type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevalence is spiraling globally, and knowledge of its pathophysiological signatures is crucial for a better understanding and treatment of the disease.
We aimed to discover underlying coding genetic variants influencing fasting serum levels of nine biomarkers associated with T2D: adiponectin, C-reactive protein, ferritin, heat shock 70-kDa protein 1B, IGF binding protein 1 and IGF binding protein 2, IL-18, IL-2 receptor-α, and leptin.
A population-based sample of 6215 adult Danes was genotyped for 16 340 coding single-nucleotide polymorphisms and were tested for association with each biomarker. Identified loci were tested for association with T2D through a large-scale meta-analysis involving up to 17 024 T2D cases and up to 64 186 controls.
We discovered 11 associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms and five distinct biomarkers at a study-wide P < 3.4 × 10(-7). Nine associations were novel: IL18: BIRC6, RAD17, MARVELD2; ferritin: F5; IGF binding protein 1: SERPING1, KLKB, GCKR, CELSR2, and heat shock 70-kDa protein 1B: CFH. Three of the identified loci (CELSR2, HNF1A, and GCKR) were significantly associated with T2D, of which the association with the CELSR2 locus has not been shown previously.
The identified loci influence processes related to insulin signaling, cell communication, immune function, apoptosis, DNA repair, and oxidative stress, all of which could provide a rationale for novel diabetes therapeutic strategies.
2型糖尿病（T2D）在全球的患病率呈螺旋式上升，了解其病理生理特征对于更好地理解和治疗该疾病至关重要。
我们旨在发现影响与T2D相关的九种生物标志物空腹血清水平的潜在编码基因变异：脂联素、C反应蛋白、铁蛋白、热休克70 kDa蛋白1B、胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白1和胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白2、白细胞介素-18、白细胞介素-2受体α和瘦素。
对6215名丹麦成年人的人群样本进行了16340个编码单核苷酸多态性的基因分型，并检测了与每种生物标志物的关联。通过一项大规模荟萃分析，对多达17024例T2D病例和多达64186例对照进行了鉴定位点与T2D关联的检测。
我们在全研究范围内P<3.4×10⁻⁷时发现了单核苷酸多态性与五种不同生物标志物之间的11种关联。九种关联是新发现的：白细胞介素-18：BIRC6、RAD17、MARVELD2；铁蛋白：F5；胰岛素样生长因子结合蛋白1：SERPING1、KLKB、GCKR、CELSR2；以及热休克70 kDa蛋白1B：CFH。鉴定出的三个位点（CELSR2、HNF1A和GCKR）与T2D显著相关，其中与CELSR2位点的关联此前未被报道。
鉴定出的位点影响与胰岛素信号传导、细胞通讯、免疫功能、细胞凋亡、DNA修复和氧化应激相关的过程，所有这些都可为新型糖尿病治疗策略提供理论依据。
