In our case-control subjects, susceptibility to type 2 diabetes was replicated in TCF7L2 (rs12255372), CDKAL1 (rs7756992, rs7754840), HHEX (rs7923837), IGF2BP2 (rs4402960 and rs1470579), CDKN2A/B (rs10811661), and SLC30A8 (rs13266634).
In the same French population analyzed in our previous GWA study (3,295 T2D and 3,595 NGT), strong associations with T2D were found for CDKAL1 (OR(rs7756992) = 1.30[1.19-1.42], P = 2.3x10(-9)), CDKN2A/2B (OR(rs10811661) = 0.74[0.66-0.82], P = 3.5x10(-8)) and more modestly for IGFBP2 (OR(rs1470579) = 1.17[1.07-1.27], P = 0.0003) SNPs.
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 x 10(-3)] in SLC30A8; rs1111875 [OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.14-1.40); P = 1.4 x 10(-5)] and rs7923837 [OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.13-1.43); P = 1.0 x 10(-4)] in HHEX; rs10811661 [OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.15-1.40); P = 1.9 x 10(-6)] in CDKN2B; rs4402960 [OR = 1.23 (95% CI 1.11-1.36); P = 8.1 x 10(-5)] and rs1470579 [OR = 1.18 (95% CI 1.07-1.31); P = 8.3 x 10(-4)] in IGF2BP2; and rs7754840 [OR = 1.28 (95% CI 1.17-1.41); P = 4.5 x 10(-7)] and rs7756992 [OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.15-1.40); P = 9.8 x 10(-7)] in CDKAL1.
