Objective: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) identified that SLC30A8 genetic polymorphism was a risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in several populations. This study aimed to investigate whether the SLC30A8 rs13266634 and rs16889462 polymorphisms were associated with T2DM susceptibility and repaglinide therapeutic efficacy in Chinese T2DM patients.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study of 443 T2DM patients and 229 healthy volunteers to identify SLC30A8 rs13266634 and rs16889462 genotypes by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. Forty-eight patients were randomly selected and underwent an 8-week repaglinide treatment (3 mg/d). Fasting plasma glucose (FPG), postprandial plasma glucose (PPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc), fasting serum insulin (FINS), postprandial serum insulin (PINS), homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), serum triglyceride, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c) and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c) were determined before and after repaglinide treatment.
Results: SLC30A8 rs13266634 risk C allele frequency was higher in T2DM patients than in healthy controls (P < 0.05). There was a better repaglinide response on FINS (P < 0.05) and PINS (P < 0.01) in patients with rs13266634 CT+TT genotypes compared with CC genotype carriers. Patients with rs16889462 GA genotype showed an enhanced repaglinide efficacy on FPG (P < 0.01), PPG (P < 0.01) and HbAlc (P < 0.05) compared with GG genotype individuals.
Conclusions: SLC30A8 rs13266634 and rs16889462 polymorphisms were associated with repaglinide therapeutic efficacy in Chinese T2DM patients.

Article Synopsis
- * The study focused on summarizing SNPs linked to these conditions specifically in Asian populations, as fewer studies have investigated this compared to Western populations.
- * Key SNPs associated with obesity include rs9939609 and rs17782313 (FTO and MC4R genes), while T2DM is linked to SNPs like rs7903146 and rs12255372 (TCF7L2 gene), indicating the potential for gene screening in assessing risk for these diseases.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the link between genetic risk variants and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in a population of 300 pregnant women from North India.
- It focused on four specific genetic variants (SNPs): FTO, PPARG2, SLC30A8, and TCF7L2, using a case-control methodology and genotyping techniques.
- Findings showed that certain variations in these genes were significantly associated with GDM risk, revealing that the risk allele A of FTO doubled the likelihood of developing GDM, while some genotypes in PPARG2 indicated lower risk.

Variants at the SLC30A8 locus are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk. The lead variant, rs13266634, encodes an amino acid change, Arg325Trp (R325W), at the C-terminus of the secretory granule-enriched zinc transporter, ZnT8. Although this protein-coding variant was previously thought to be the sole driver of T2D risk at this locus, recent studies have provided evidence for lowered expression of SLC30A8 mRNA in protective allele carriers.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms of the TCF7L2, HHEX, SLC30A8, MTNR1B, SLC2A2 and GLIS3 genes are well established candidate genes for cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) across different ethnic populations. We investigated their association with CMDs in a mixed ancestry population of South Africa. rs10830963, rs1111875, rs11920090, rs13266634, rs7034200 and rs7903146 SNPs were genotyped by quantitative real time PCR in 1650 participants and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) analyses performed on the SNPs.
