We hypothesized that loci affecting variation in these quantitative traits influence T2D. We completed a multi-cohort genome-wide association study to search for loci influencing T2D-related quantitative traits in 4,176 Mexican Americans. Quantitative traits were measured by the frequently-sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test (4 cohorts) or euglycemic clamp (3 cohorts) and random effects models were used to test association between loci and quantitative traits, adjusting for age, gender, and admixture proportions (Discovery). Analysis revealed significant (P<5.00x10-8) association at 11q14.3 (MTNR1B) with acute insulin response. Loci with P<0.0001 among the quantitative traits were examined for translation to T2D risk in 6,463 T2D cases and 9,232 controls of Mexican ancestry (Translation). Non-parametric meta-analysis of the Discovery and Translation cohorts identified significant associations at 6p24 (SLC35B3/TFAP2A) with glucose effectiveness/T2D, 11p15 (KCNQ1) with disposition index/T2D, and 6p22 (CDKAL1) and 11q14 (MTNR1B) with acute insulin response/T2D. These results suggest that T2D and insulin secretion and sensitivity have both shared and distinct genetic factors, potentially delineating genomic components of these quantitative traits that drive risk for T2D. 3 Diabetes Page 6 of 127 INTRODUCTION The pathophysiologic basis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) reflects derangements in both insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function(1). Alterations in insulin clearance and glucose effectiveness may also contribute to the development of T2D(2). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of T2D have focused almost entirely on clinical presentation of disease and not on these underlying pathophysiologic traits. Expanding the focus to include the genetic basis of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function has the potential to expand our knowledge of the pathophysiologic pathways underlying T2D. To date, GWAS of T2D and related traits have been conducted primarily in European origin populations(3). However, the prevalence of T2D and related traits vary by ethnicity, suggesting differential genetic architecture will provide important insight into T2D diathesis. GWAS in case/control samples of T2D have had a substantial impact on the current understanding of genetic susceptibility to disease, implicating variants in at least 70 genes/regions that each have relatively small individual effects but are common in the general population(4). Most identified T2D genes appear to mediate their influence through the beta-cell and not through insulin resistance. These data contrast with other evidence and the widely accepted belief that insulin resistance is a major(5; 6) heritable(7-10) component of T2D susceptibility. This suggests that insulin resistance is a part of the necessary milieu, but is insufficient to cause frank T2D in isolation. GWAS of the underlying pathophysiologic traits of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function have relied almost entirely on surrogate measures such as homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) parameters(11). While these fasting measures do not reflect the dynamic processes of glucose homeostasis, new T2D loci have been identified through GWAS of basic T2D-related traits such as fasting glucose(11; 12). We have recently documented substantial heritability of direct measures of insulin resistance and insulin clearance in Mexican Americans(13), suggesting that genetic
