CONTEXT: The transcription factor forkhead box protein (FOX) O1A plays a crucial role in regulation of beta-cell function and metabolic effects of insulin in the liver. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to investigate whether common genetic variation within the FOXO1 gene encoding FOXO1A contributes to prediabetic phenotypes, such as insulin resistance or beta-cell dysfunction, and to risk of type 2...
