Type 2 diabetes TCF7L2 risk genotypes alter birth weight: A study of 24, 053 individuals

Article Abstract:

A hypothesis that fetal TCF7L2 type-2 diabetes predisposing genotypes at rs7903146 and rs12255372 would be associated with reduced birth weight was investigated in individuals from six population-based studies. The first type-2 diabetes susceptibility allele was identified and found to be reproducibly associated with birth weight and common gene variants were found to substantially influence normal birth weight variation.

A common haplotype of the glucokinase gene alters fasting glucose and birth weight: Association in six studies and population-genetics analyses

Article Abstract:

The role of variation of glucokinase (GCK) in the determination of fasting glucose and birth weight is examined using a tagging single-nucleotide polymorphism (tSNP) approach. A comprehensive analysis of common variation of the glucokinase gene has indicated that this is the first gene to be reproducibly associated with fasting glucose and fetal growth.

Permanent neonatal diabetes caused by dominant, recessive, or compound heterozygous SUR1 mutations with opposite functional effects

Article Abstract:

The article describes about the active mutations that are heterozygous in the KCNJ11 gene encodes pore-forming Kir6.2 subunits of the pancreatic beta cell [K.sub.ATP] channel are the most common cause of permanent neonatal diabetes (PNDM).
