0.700 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE In adults, the TCF7L2 rs7903146 T allele, commonly associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), has been also associated with a lower body mass index (BMI) in T2D individuals and with a smaller waist circumference in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance. 17593304 2007
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.700 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Variants of the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene are associated with type 2 diabetes in an African-American population enriched for nephropathy. 17601994 2007
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.700 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Our results are consistent with others' findings that variations at TCF7L2 contribute to T2D, including Chinese. 17609304 2007
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.700 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Variants of the TCF7L2 gene are associated with beta cell dysfunction and confer an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the ULSAM cohort of Swedish elderly men. 17618413 2007
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.700 Biomarker disease BEFREE Furthermore, TCF7L2 that has been reported as a convincing susceptibility gene for type II diabetes in Caucasian populations was also shown to be associated with type II diabetes in a Japanese population. 17653210 2007
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.700 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Polymorphisms in the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene are associated with type 2 diabetes and reduced insulin secretion. 17661009 2007
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.700 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE These results extend previous observations to other ethnic groups, and strongly confirm that TCF7L2 genotype is a major risk factor for development of T2D. 17665514 2006
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
