Polymorphism in the Transcription Factor 7-Like 2 (TCF7L2) Gene Is Associated With Reduced Insulin Secretion in Nondiabetic Women
28 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Recently, the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene on chromosome 10q25.2 has been linked with type 2 diabetes among Caucasians, with disease associations noted for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs12255372 and rs7903146. To investigate mechanisms by which TCF7L2 could contribute to type 2 diabetes, we examined the effects of these SNPs on clinical and metabolic traits affecting glucose homeostasis...
