| T1 |
0-93 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Association of obesity risk SNPs in PCSK1 with insulin sensitivity and proinsulin conversion. |
| T2 |
94-105 |
Sentence |
denotes |
BACKGROUND: |
| T3 |
106-168 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Prohormone convertase 1 is involved in maturation of peptides. |
| T4 |
169-318 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Rare mutations in gene PCSK1, encoding this enzyme, cause childhood obesity and abnormal glucose homeostasis with elevated proinsulin concentrations. |
| T5 |
319-430 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within this gene, rs6232 and rs6235, are associated with obesity. |
| T6 |
431-560 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We studied whether these SNPs influence the prediabetic traits insulin resistance, beta-cell dysfunction, or glucose intolerance. |
| T7 |
561-569 |
Sentence |
denotes |
METHODS: |
| T8 |
570-644 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We genotyped 1498 German subjects for SNPs rs6232 and rs6235 within PCSK1. |
| T9 |
645-784 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The subjects were metabolically characterized by oral glucose tolerance test with glucose, insulin, proinsulin, and C-peptide measurements. |
| T10 |
785-858 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A subgroup of 512 subjects underwent a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. |
| T11 |
859-867 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
| T12 |
868-943 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The minor allele frequencies were 25.8% for SNP rs6235 and 6.0% for rs6232. |
| T13 |
944-1086 |
Sentence |
denotes |
After adjustment for sex and age, we found no association of SNPs rs6235 and rs6232 with BMI or other weight-related traits (all p >or= 0.07). |
| T14 |
1087-1345 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Both minor alleles, adjusted for sex, age, BMI and insulin sensitivity were associated with elevated AUCproinsulin and AUCproinsulin/AUCinsulin (rs6235: p(additive) model <or= 0.009, effect sizes 8/8%, rs6232: pdominant model <or= 0.01, effect sizes 10/21%). |
| T15 |
1346-1447 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Insulin secretion was not affected by the variants (different secretion parameters, all p >or= 0.08). |
| T16 |
1448-1731 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The minor allele of SNP rs6232 was additionally associated with 15% higher OGTT-derived and 19% higher clamp-derived insulin sensitivity (pdom <or= 0.0047), 4.5% lower HOMAIR (pdom = 0.02) and 3.5% lower 120-min glucose (pdom = 0.0003) independently of BMI and proinsulin conversion. |
| T17 |
1732-1800 |
Sentence |
denotes |
SNP rs6235 was not associated with parameters of glucose metabolism. |
| T18 |
1801-1813 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSIONS: |
| T19 |
1814-1954 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Like rare mutations in PCSK1, the more common variants tested determine glucose-stimulated proinsulin conversion, but not insulin secretion. |
| T20 |
1955-2071 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, rs6232, encoding the amino acid exchange N221D, influences insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis. |
