Abstract

We sought to determine whether a G -> A variant at position -30 of the beta-cell promoter of the glucokinase (GCK) gene observed to be present more frequently in Japanese-American men with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) than in Japanese-American men with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) is associated with impaired beta-cell function. We studied 125 unrelated Japanese-American men (aged 46-74 years; mean 61 +/- 0.5) who were nondiabetic by a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (65 had NGT and 60 had IGT). The presence of the -30 beta-cell GCK gene promoter variant was determined by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis. Beta-cell function was assessed using the ratio of the incremental response in immunoreactive insulin (IRI) to that of glucose during the first 30 min of the OGTT (delta IRI[30 min-0 min]/delta glucose[30 min-0 min]) performed at baseline and at 5 years of follow-up. Beta-cell function adjusted for basal IRI ([delta IRI[30 min-0 min]/delta glucose[30 min-0 min]]/basal IRI; the relative insulin response) was also evaluated. At baseline, the -30 beta-cell GCK gene promoter variant was present in 15.4% of subjects with NGT vs. 38.3% of subjects with IGT (P < 0.01). Fasting IRI did not differ between g...Continue Reading
