Aim: In recent genome-wide association studies, genetic variants in TCF7L2, SLC30A8, HHEX, LOC387761, and EXT2 were associated with risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed at investigating the association of these single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with T2DM and defining their corresponding allelic and genotypic combinations in the Tunisian population. We also tried to determine the effect of R325W of SLC30A8 on the modeled structural properties of the protein.
Methods: Five SNPs were genotyped in 331 T2DM Tunisian patients and 403 healthy subjects by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. A model of residues 318-366 of the SLC30A8 protein was built by homology modeling.
Results: LOC387761 provided the strongest evidence for replication, where rs7480010 presented a risk of 2.41 with T2DM, followed by rs1111875 in HHEX (odds ratio=1.95) and rs13266634 in SLC30A8 (odds ratio=1.59). None of the two other SNPs previously reported was associated. The highest risk of T2DM was 3.1, obtained by the genotype combination of the three associated SNPs. Modeling of the cytoplasmic part of the SLC30A8 protein showed that the R325W change might affect the electrostatic potential of the SLC30A8 protein.
Conclusion: We concluded that the SLC30A8, HHEX, and LOC387761 are more likely to represent the genuine signals of T2DM in the Tunisian population.

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.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the relevance of European genetic risk variants for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in the Pakistani Pashtun population, as prior research mainly focused on Europeans.
- Researchers enrolled 100 T2DM patients and 100 healthy volunteers from the Pashtun ethnicity, genotyping them for 8 specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to assess their association with T2DM.
- Results showed that 5 out of the 8 SNPs significantly correlated with T2DM risk in the Pashtun cohort, suggesting that certain European-identified genetic variants also contribute to T2DM susceptibility in this population.

Genetics plays a role in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which poses serious risks to pregnant women and their children. Several studies have demonstrated a link between GDM susceptibility and rs13266634 C/T polymorphism in SLC30A8 gene and rs1111875 C/T and rs5015480 C/T, which are located near the linkage disequilibrium block containing the IDE, HHEX, and KIF11 genes. However, the results are conflicting.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to clarify the role of genetic factors on posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) risk.
Methods: Relevant publications were systematically retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library up to December 2020. Data from eligible case-control and cohort studies were extracted for qualitative and quantitative analyses.

Background —: Smokers are 30 to 40 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than non-smokers. A type 2 diabetes gene, Tcf7L2, which had lost activity, caused rats to consume more nicotine. In the present study, we used data from the UK Biobank to examine the relationship of smoking, type 2 diabetes, and Tcf7L2 in human subjects.
