PG - 340-8 LID - 10.1007/s00125-011-2377-0 [doi] AB - AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: There is substantial evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to insulin resistance and is present in several tissues relevant to the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Here, we examined whether common variation in genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) contributes to type 2 diabetes susceptibility or influences diabetes-related metabolic traits. METHODS: OxPhos gene variants (n = 10) that had been nominally associated (p < 0.01) with type 2 diabetes in a recent genome-wide meta-analysis (n = 10,108) were selected for follow-up in 3,599 type 2 diabetic and 4,956 glucose-tolerant Danish individuals. A meta-analysis of these variants was performed in 11,729 type 2 diabetic patients and 43,943 non-diabetic individuals. The impact on OGTT-derived metabolic traits was evaluated in 5,869 treatment-naive individuals from the Danish Inter99 study. RESULTS: The minor alleles of COX10 rs9915302 (p = 0.02) and COX5B rs1466100 (p = 0.005) showed nominal association with type 2 diabetes in our Danish cohort. However, in the meta-analysis, none of the investigated variants showed a robust association with type 2 diabetes after correction for multiple testing. Among the alleles potentially associated with type 2 diabetes, none negatively influenced surrogate markers of insulin sensitivity in non-diabetic participants, while the minor alleles of UQCRC1 rs2228561 and COX10 rs10521253 showed a weak (p < 0.01 to p < 0.05) negative influence on indices of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: We cannot rule out the possibility that common variants in or near OxPhos genes may influence beta cell function in non-diabetic individuals. However, our quantitative trait studies and a sufficiently large meta-analysis indicate that common variation in proximity to the examined OxPhos genes is not a major cause of insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes.
