We evaluated, in a general French population, the contribution of the GCKR rs1260326-P446L polymorphism to quantitative metabolic parameters and to dyslipidemia and hyperglycemia risk.
There were significant associations between rs1260333 (OR is 0.82, 95 % CI 0.74-0.92, p ~ 3.96 × 10(-4)), rs1260326 (OR is 0.82, 95 % CI 0.74-0.92, p ~ 5.31 × 10(-4)), and rs964184 (OR is 1.36, 95 % CI 1.20-1.55, p ~ 1.89 × 10(-6)) and dyslipidemia.
The results of this population-based study provide evidence for a relationship between lipid regulatory gene polymorphisms including GCKR (rs780094), GCKR (rs1260333), FADS (rs174547), and MLXIPL (rs3812316) with dyslipidemia in an Iranian population.
Consistent with observations in white Europeans, the GCKR rs780094 polymorphism contributes to the risk of type 2 diabetes and dyslipidaemia in Han Chinese individuals.
The minor GCKR A-allele of rs780094 is associated with an increased level of fasting serum triacylglycerol (p = 6 x 10(-14)), impaired fasting (p = 0.001) and OGTT-related insulin release (p = 3 x 10(-6)), reduced homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (p = 0.0004), WHO-defined dyslipidaemia (p = 6 x 10(-9)) and a modestly decreased risk of type 2 diabetes (p = 0.01).
We aimed to investigate associations of rs780092 with incident type 2 diabetes and dyslipidaemia, and the longitudinal changes in glucose and lipid levels.
