Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is an emerging global chronic liver disease, has a close association with insulin resistance. We aimed to determine whether the Gly1057Asp (rs1805097) polymorphism of the insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2) gene is associated with NAFLD. METHODS Using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method, 135 patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD and 135 controls underwent IRS2 genotype analysis. RESULTS Genotype and allele distributions of the IRS2 gene Gly1057Asp variant conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in both the case and control groups (P > .05). The Asp/Asp genotype of IRS2 gene Gly1057Asp polymorphism compared with Gly/Gly genotype was associated with a 2.1-fold increased risk for NAFLD after adjustment for confounding factors (P = .029; odds ratio = 2.10, 95% CI = 1.23-3.97). CONCLUSION Our findings revealed for the first time that the Gly1057Asp Asp/Asp genotype of the IRS2 gene is a marker of increased NAFLD susceptibility; however, studies in other populations are required to confirm the results.

NUCLEOSIDES, NUCLEOTIDES & NUCLEIC ACIDS 2023; 42:837-851. [PMID: 37173295 DOI: 10.1080/15257770.2023.2211122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/30/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023]
Abstract
Background: Insulin Receptor Substrate (IRS) molecules play a major role in insulin signalling, and single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IRS-1 (rs1801278) and IRS-2 (rs1805097) gene has been associated with the predisposition to the development of type-2 diabetes (T2D) in some population. However, the observations remain contradictory. Discrepancies in the results have been attributed to several factors, and consideration of a smaller sample size is one of them. To reach a valid conclusion, we performed a meta-analysis of the genetic association between IRS-1 (rs1801278) and IRS-2 (rs1805097) polymorphism with a predisposition to T2D. Materials and Methods: The literature search was performed in different databases such as PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus. All relevant articles were screened and based in inclusion and exclusion criteria eligible reports were identified. Baseline characteristics, genotype and allele frequencies were extracted from the eligible reports. The meta-analysis was performed by comprehensive meta-analysis software v3.3.070 and odds ratios, 95% confidence interval and probability values were calculated to find out association of IRS-1 and IRS-2 polymorphisms with rhinitis. Results: A total of seven studies comprising 1287 cases and 1638 control were considered for the present meta-analysis for the association of IRS-1 (rs1801278) polymorphism with T2D, and no significant association was observed. For IRS-2 (rs1805097) polymorphism, data from eight cohorts (cases: 1824, controls: 1786) were considered. The heterozygous genetic comparison models revealed a significant protective association against T2D predisposition (p = 0.017, OR = 0.841, 95% CI = 0.729 to 0.970). The trial sequential analysis revealed the requirement of additional case-control studies to draw a definitive conclusion for IRS-1 polymorphism. Conclusions: IRS-2 rs1805097 heterozygotes are protected from T2D development. However, IRS-1 (rs1801278) is not associated with a subject's proclivity for T2D.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic disease that raises the risk of microvascular and neurological disorders. Insensitivity to insulin is a characteristic of type II diabetes, which accounts for 85-90 percent of all diabetic patients. The fundamental molecular factor of insulin resistance may be impaired cell signal transduction mediated by the insulin receptor (IR). Several cell-signaling proteins, including IR, insulin receptor substrate (IRS), and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), have been recognized as being important in the impaired insulin signaling pathway since they are associated with a large number of proteins that are strictly regulated and interact with other signaling pathways. Many studies have found a correlation between IR alternative splicing, IRS gene polymorphism, the complicated regulatory function of IRS serine/threonine phosphorylation, and the negative regulatory role of p85 in insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus. This review brings up-to-date knowledge of the roles of signaling proteins in insulin resistance in order to aid in the discovery of prospective targets for insulin resistance treatment.

Abstract
Genes encoding insulin receptor substrates IRS-1 and IRS-2 perform key functions in the insulin pathway. Numerous authors have suggested that single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) changes in the DNA sequence may be associated with the development of obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The Gly972Arg polymorphism of the IRS-1 gene and the Gly1057Asp polymorphism of the IRS-2 gene are believed to be associated with the occurrence of insulin resistance and obesity according to many sources. The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of these polymorphisms on the clinical parameters and to assess their correlations in obese Polish pregnant women. A total of 154 pregnant Caucasian women from the Wielkopolska region were analyzed: 78 diagnosed with overweight or obesity (study group) and 76 with normal body mass (controls). The analysis of the polymorphisms was performed using the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The IRS-2 Gly1057Asp polymorphism revealed no significant correlations with excessive weight gain during pregnancy. The analysis of the IRS-1 Gly972Arg polymorphism showed an association with obesity between the study and control groups (GG-80.77%, GR-17.95%, RR-1.28% vs GG-94.74%, GR-5.26%; p = 0.023). We also observed slightly increased BMI values and higher values of the waist and hip circumference before pregnancy in the case of the IRS-1 Gly972Arg polymorphism. The analysis of the clinical and anthropometric parameters demonstrated no significant relationships between the genotypes of the polymorphic variants of the IRS-1 and IRS-2 genes but suggested an association between the IRS-1 Gly972Arg polymorphism and the risk for obesity.

Abstract
Decidualization, the process by which fibroblastic human endometrial stromal cells (HESC) differentiate into secretory decidual cells, is a critical event during the establishment of pregnancy. It is dependent on the steroid hormone progesterone acting through the nuclear progesterone receptor (PR). Previously, we identified insulin receptor substrate 2 (IRS2) as a factor that is directly regulated by PR during decidualization. IRS2 is an adaptor protein that functionally links receptor tyrosine kinases, such as insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), and their downstream effectors. IRS2 expression was induced in HESC during in vitro decidualization and siRNA-mediated downregulation of IRS2 transcripts resulted in attenuation of this process. Further use of siRNAs targeted to IR or IGF1R transcripts showed that downregulation of IR, but not IGF1R, led to impaired decidualization. Loss of IRS2 transcripts in HESC suppressed phosphorylation of both ERK1/2 and AKT, downstream effectors of insulin signaling, which mediate gene expression associated with decidualization and regulate glucose uptake. Indeed, downregulation of IRS2 resulted in reduced expression and membrane localization of the glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT4, resulting in lowered glucose uptake during stromal decidualization. Collectively, these data suggest that the PR-regulated expression of IRS2 is necessary for proper insulin signaling for controlling gene expression and glucose utilization, which critically support the decidualization process to facilitate pregnancy. This study provides new insight into the mechanisms by which steroid hormone signaling intersects with insulin signaling in the uterus during decidualization, which has important implications for pregnancy complications associated with insulin resistance and infertility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disorder characterized by a high level of glucose in the blood. Both genetic and environmental factors interact to cause diabetes. Insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins have a significant part in insulin signaling pathways. We aimed to investigate the relationship of type 2 diabetes with a Gly972Arg (G972R) variant of the IRS-1 gene and Gly1057Asp (G1057D) polymorphism of IRS-2 gene in the population of Punjab, Pakistan. METHODS We collected 926 samples, 500 healthy controls (fasting blood sugar < 99 mg/dL, random blood sugar < 126 mg/dL) and 426 cases with diabetes (fasting blood sugar > 99 mg/dL, random blood sugar > 126 mg/dL). Several anthropometric measurements were measured. Statistical analysis was performed by using SPSS to determine the allele group/genotype frequency of the selected variants in the study population. RESULTS The genotyping results of G972R by RLFP-PCR showed the allelic frequency of G = 0.68 and R = 0.32 in controls while G = 0.71 and R = 0.29 in the cases. The minor R allele had a slightly higher frequency in the cases than the controls (OR = 0.86, CI 0.706-1.052, p = 0.17). The genotyping results of G1057D showed allelic frequency G = 0.74 and D = 0.26 in the controls while G = 0.961 and D = 0.29 in the cases. The minor D allele appeared to be a risk allele for this SNP although the difference in the allele frequencies was not statistically significant (OR = 1.55, CI 0.961-1.41, p = 0.108). The combined genotype analysis showed that the difference in the allele and genotype frequencies reached statistical difference between the cases and the controls as well as the odds ratio substantially increased when the R allele (G972R) was present together with D allele (G1057D) in any combination. When the association of single variants with the lipid traits was observed, only D allele (G1057D) showed significant association with TG, HDL and LDL, however when the analysis was repeated for combined genotypes using general linear model, many more significant associations between the genotype where D allele and R allele are together, were seen with many lipid traits. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the single nucleotide polymorphisms with low-modest effect size may not affect the phenotype individually but when in combination, the effect becomes stronger and more visible, therefore, for the SNP association studies, the more the number of SNPs included in the analysis, the more meaningful the results.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial metabolic disorder caused by environmental factors and has a strong association with hereditary issues. These hereditary issues result in an imbalance in CD4+T cells and a decreased level of naïve CD4+T cells, which may be critical in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Transcription factors GATA3 and STAT4 mediate the cytokine-induced development of naïve T cells into Th1 or Th2 types. In the present study, genetic analyses of GATA3 SNP rs3824662 and STAT4 SNP rs10181656 were performed to investigate the association of allelic and genotypic variations with the risk of T2D in the Bangladeshi population. A total of 297 unrelated Bangladeshi patients with type 2 diabetes and 247 healthy individuals were included in the study. The allelic and genotypic frequencies of rs10181656 located in the STAT4 gene were not found to be associated with risk of type 2 diabetes. The GATA3 rs3824662 T allele and mutant TT genotype had a significant association with the risk of T2D [OR: 1.52 (1.15-2.02), X2 = 8.66, p = 0.003 and OR: 2.98 (1.36-6.55), X2 = 7.98, p = 0.04, respectively]. Thus, the present study postulates that the genetic variation of the transcription factor GATA3, not STAT4, is associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes in the Bangladeshi population.

Insulin Receptor Substrate 2 Controls Insulin-Mediated Vasoreactivity and Perivascular Adipose Tissue Function in Muscle. Front Physiol 2018; 9:245.

Abstract
Introduction: Insulin signaling in adipose tissue has been shown to regulate insulin's effects in muscle. In muscle, perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) and vascular insulin signaling regulate muscle perfusion. Insulin receptor substrate (IRS) 2 has been shown to control adipose tissue function and glucose metabolism, and here we tested the hypothesis that IRS2 mediates insulin's actions on the vessel wall as well as the vasoactive properties of PVAT. Methods: We studied PVAT and muscle resistance arteries (RA) from littermate IRS2+/+ and IRS2−/− mice and vasoreactivity by pressure myography, vascular insulin signaling, adipokine expression, and release and PVAT morphology. As insulin induced constriction of IRS2+/+ RA in our mouse model, we also exposed RA's of C57/Bl6 mice to PVAT from IRS2+/+ and IRS2−/− littermates to evaluate vasodilator properties of PVAT. Results: IRS2−/− RA exhibited normal vasomotor function, yet a decreased maximal diameter compared to IRS2+/+ RA. IRS2+/+ vessels unexpectedly constricted endothelin-dependently in response to insulin, and this effect was absent in IRS2−/− RA due to reduced ERK1/2activation. For evaluation of PVAT function, we also used C57/Bl6 vessels with a neutral basal effect of insulin. In these experiments insulin (10.0 nM) increased diameter in the presence of IRS2+/+ PVAT (17 ± 4.8, p = 0.014), yet induced a 10 ± 7.6% decrease in diameter in the presence of IRS2−/− PVAT. Adipocytes in IRS2−/− PVAT (1314 ± 161 μm2) were larger (p = 0.0013) than of IRS2+/+ PVAT (915 ± 63 μm2). Adiponectin, IL-6, PAI-1 secretion were similar between IRS2+/+ and IRS2−/− PVAT, as were expression of pro-inflammatory genes (TNF-α, CCL2) and adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, endothelin-1). Insulin-induced AKT phosphorylation in RA was similar in the presence of IRS2−/− and IRS2+/+ PVAT. Conclusion: In muscle, IRS2 regulates both insulin's vasoconstrictor effects, mediating ERK1/2-ET-1 activation, and its vasodilator effects, by mediating the vasodilator effect of PVAT. The regulatory role of IRS2 in PVAT is independent from adiponectin secretion.

Abstract
Here, we aimed to study the effect of the forkhead box O1-insulin receptor substrate 2 (FOXO1-IRS2) gene interaction and the FOXO1 and IRS2 genes-environment interaction for the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a Chinese Han population. We genotyped 7 polymorphism sites of FOXO1 gene and IRS2 gene in 780 unrelated Chinese Han people (474 cases of T2DM, 306 cases of healthy control). The risk of T2DM in individuals with AA genotype for rs7986407 and CC genotype for rs4581585 in FOXO1 gene was 2.092 and 2.57 times higher than that with GG genotype (odds ratio [OR] = 2.092; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.178-3.731; P = 0.011) and TT genotype (OR = 2.571; 95% CI = 1.404-4.695; P = 0.002), respectively. The risk of T2DM in individuals with GG genotype for Gly1057Asp in IRS2 gene was 1.42 times higher than that with AA genotype (OR = 1.422; 95% CI = 1.037-1.949; P = 0.029). The other 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) had no significant association with T2DM (P > 0.05). Multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) analysis showed that the interaction between SNPs rs7986407 and rs4325426 in FOXO1 gene and waist was the best model confirmed by interaction analysis, closely associating with T2DM. There was an increased risk for T2DM in the case of non-obesity with genotype combined AA/CC, AA/AC or AG/AA for rs7986407 and rs4325426, and obesity with genotype AA for rs7986407 or AA for rs4325426 (OR = 3.976; 95% CI = 1.156-13.675; P value from sign test [P(sign)] = 0.025; P value from permutation test [P(perm)] = 0.000-0.001). Together, this study indicates an association of FOXO1 and IRS2 gene polymorphisms with T2DM in Chinese Han population, supporting FOXO1-obesity interaction as a key factor for the risk of T2DM.

Abstract
Background Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many SNPs associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the functional roles for most of the SNPs have not been elucidated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of gene expression involved in the development and progression of various diseases including T2DM. In this study, we investigated whether commonly occurring SNPs modulate miRNA-directed regulation of gene expression, and whether such SNPs in miRNA-binding sites are associated with the susceptibility for T2DM. Methods Genotypes of eleven 3′ untranslated region (UTR) SNPs of seven susceptibility genes for T2DM were determined in 353 T2DM patients and 448 control subjects. In addition, the interactions of miRNAs with the 3′UTR in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (HNF1B) gene were investigated using luciferase reporter assays. Results One 3′UTR SNP (rs2229295) in the HNF1B gene was significantly associated with T2DM, and the frequency of an A allele (rs2229295) in T2DM patients was decreased compared with that in controls. Luciferase reporter assays showed that the SNP (rs2229295) altered the binding of two miRNAs (hsa-miR-214-5p and hsa-miR-550a-5p). Conclusions We have detected the interactions of hsa-miR-214-5p/hsa-miR-550a-5p and the 3′UTR SNP of the HNF1B gene by in vitro luciferase reporter assays, and propose that the binding of such miRNAs regulates the expression of the HNF1B gene and the susceptibility of T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The G1057D polymorphism in insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-2 gene is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk, but results in published literatures are controversial. In addition, the effect of obesity as a modifier on this association is also inconsistent. Thus, this meta-analysis was performed to assess the above-mentioned association. METHODS A comprehensive search was performed to identify case-control or cohort studies (from 1990 to 2014) of the aforementioned association. The I(2) statistic was used to examine between-study heterogeneity. Fixed or random effect model was selected based on heterogeneity test among studies. Publication bias was estimated using modified Egger's regression test. RESULTS Nine articles with ten studies were included. After excluding studies deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) in controls, results showed a significant association of D allele with reduced T2DM risk in dominant (OR = 0.825, 95% CI: 0.705-0.965) and codominant (OR = 0.857, 95% CI: 0.763-0.964) models, but no significant association in recessive (OR = 0.806, 95% CI: 0.628-1.035) model. For studies stratified by obesity, after excluding studies deviated from HWE in controls, no significant association of D allele with T2DM risk was found in three inherited models in obese group; however, a significant protective effect of D allele was observed in dominant (OR = 0.714, 95% CI: 0.533-0.958), recessive (OR = 0.438, 95% CI: 0.253-0.760) and codominant (OR = 0.706, 95% CI: 0.565-0.883) models in non-obese group. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggested that D allele of G1057D polymorphism have a significant effect on reduced risk of T2DM, and obesity is a modifier of this association. This result needs to be confirmed by further studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several epidemiological studies have shown associations between colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and type 2 diabetes and obesity. Any effects would be expected to be mediated through the insulin pathway. Therefore it is possible that variants of genes encoding components of the insulin pathway play roles in CRC susceptibility. In this study, we hypothesized that polymorphisms in the genes involving the insulin pathway are associated with risk of CRC. MATERIALS AND METHODS The associations of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IGF-I (rs6214), IGFBP-3 (rs3110697), INSR (rs1052371), and IRS2 (rs2289046) genes with the risk of CRC were evaluated using a case-control design with 167 CRC cases and 277 controls by the PCR-RFLP method. RESULTS Overall, we observed no significant difference in genotype and allele frequencies between the cases and controls for the IGF-I, IGFBP-3, INSR, IRS2 gene variants and CRC before or after adjusting for confounders (age, BMI, sex, and smoking status). However, we observed that the IRS2 (rs2289046) GG genotype compared with AA+AG genotypes has a protective effect for CRC in normal weight subjects (p=0.035, OR=0.259, 95%CI= 0.074-0.907). CONCLUSIONS These findings do not support plausible associations between polymorphic variations in IGF-I, IGFBP-3, INSR, IRS2 genes and risk of CRC. However, the evidence for a link between the IRS2 (rs2289046) variant and risk of CRC dependent on the BMI of the subjects, requires confirmation in subsequent studies with greater sample size.

Abstract
The prevalence of overweight and obesity varies significantly across ethnic groups and among aboriginal people in Canada and appears to be increasing overall in children and youth, which will have significant health consequences in the future. Individual health behaviours, genetic predisposition, and community-level factors all contribute to the high burden of overweight and obesity across communities in Canada. Preliminary studies indicate that individuals who live in neighbourhoods in Canada with increased walkability, fewer fast food outlets, and higher socioeconomic status have lower rates of overweight/obesity when compared with other neighbourhoods. However, more research is required to understand the impact of community level factors on overweight/obesity trends in Canadian ethnic groups, including children and youth, and aboriginal people.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin receptor substrate-2 (IRS-2), a signaling adaptor protein, was involved in two cancer-related pathways (the phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathways). Several studies have evaluated the association between IRS2 rs1805097 (G>A) polymorphisms and the risk of colorectal and breast cancer. However, the results were inconsistent. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A meta-analysis of seven published case-control studies (4 studies with 4798 cases and 5478 controls for colorectal cancer and 3 studies with 2108 cases and 2507 controls for breast cancer) were conducted to assess the strength of association using crude odd ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). For colorectal cancer, no obvious associations were found for all genetic models (homozygote comparison OR = 0.96, 95%CI 0.85-1.08, Pheterogeneity = 0.97; heterozygote comparison: OR = 0.91, 95%CI 0.73-1.13, Pheterogeneity<0.01; dominant model: OR = 0.92, 95%CI 0.80-1.06, Pheterogeneity = 0.05; recessive model: OR = 1.02, 95%CI 0.91-1.14, Pheterogeneity = 0.60). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, control source and consistency of frequency with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), still no significant associations were observed. For breast cancer, also no obvious associations were found for all genetic models (homozygote comparison: OR = 0.95, 95%CI 0.71-1.26, Pheterogeneity = 0.10; heterozygote comparison: OR = 1.00, 95%CI 0.89-1.14, Pheterogeneity = 0.71; dominant model: OR = 0.98, 95%CI 0.87-1.10, Pheterogeneity = 0.55; recessive model: OR = 0.95, 95%CI 0.72-1.25, Pheterogeneity = 0.07). We performed subgroup analyses by sample size and did not find an association. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis indicated that IRS2 rs1805097 polymorphism was not associated with colorectal and breast cancer risk.

Abstract
Nutrigenomic approaches based on ethnopharmacology and phytotherapy concepts have revealed that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) may be susceptible to dietary intervention. Interaction between bioactive food components and the genome may influence cell processes and modulate the onset and progression of the disease. T2DM, characterized by insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction, is one of the leading causes of death and disability. Despite the great advances that have been made in the understanding and management of this complex, multifactorial disease, T2DM has become a worldwide epidemic in the 21st century. Population and family studies have revealed a strong genetic component of T2DM, and a number of candidate genes have been identified in humans. Variations in the gene sequences such as single nucleotide polymorphisms, explain the individual differences in traits like disease susceptibility and response to treatment. A clear understanding of how nutrients affect the expression of genes should facilitate the development of individualized intervention and, eventually, treatment strategies for T2DM. Review of the literature identified many phytochemicals/extracts from traditional medicinal plants that can target diabetogenic genes. This review focuses on the genetic aspects of T2DM, nutrient modification of genes relevant for diabetes, and future prospects of nutritional therapy of T2DM.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the relationship between insulin receptor substrate-2 (IRS-2) G1057D polymorphism and the risk of gastric cancer (GC) in a Chinese population.
METHODS: A case-control study with 197 GC patients and 156 age- and sex- matched control subjects was conducted. The genotypes of polymorphism were assessed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.
RESULTS: The genotype frequencies of IRS-2 G1057D polymorphism in cases were obviously different from those in the control group (P = 0.031). Compared with GG genotype carriers, the risk for GC was significantly higher (adjusted odds ratio = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.03-5.23, P = 0.042) in the individuals with the IRS-2 DD genotype. Furthermore, stratified analysis was performed based on age, sex, smoking status and residence, but no significant difference between the two groups was found. In addition, no significant association between genotypes and clinicopathological features was observed either.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that IRS-2 G1057D is involved in susceptibility to GC, although further large-sample studies are still needed.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is among the most challenging health issues of the 21st century and is associated with an alarming rise in the incidence. The pathophysiological processes that lead to development of T2DM are still unclear, however impairment in insulin secretion and/or action is clearly indicated. Type 2 diabetes is a polygenic disorder with multiple genes located on different chromosomes contributing to its susceptibility. Analysis of the genetic factors is further complicated by the fact that numerous environmental factors interact with genes to produce the disorder. Only a minority of cases of type 2 diabetes are caused by single gene defects and one example is maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY). Previous studies indicated that variants in genes encoding the pancreatic β-cell K+ATP channel subunits Kir6.2 (KCNJ11) and SUR1 (ABCC8) are associated with neonatal diabetes. Six different types of maturity onset diabetes of young (MODY) have been identified based on characteristic gene defect. The common Pro12Ala polymorphism in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) gene was confirmed in several studies to be associated with type 2 diabetes as well. More recently, studies reported variants within a novel gene, TCF7L2, as a putative susceptibility gene for type 2 diabetes across many ethnic backgrounds around the world. MODY patients respond better to sulphonylureas and metformin, while neonatal diabetes patients with genetic mutations can be changed from insulin to oral drugs. We hereby provide a comprehensive review on the role of genetics in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signaling extends the life span of invertebrate and mammals. Recently, reduced insulin receptor substrate-2 (IRS2) signaling was found associated with increased longevity in mice. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether a common polymorphism (Gly1057Asp) in human IRS2 gene is associated with human longevity. METHODS Six hundred seventy-seven participants (289 males and 388 females) between 16 and 104 years of age, categorized as long lived (LL; >85 years old) or controls (C; <85 years old), were genotyped for Gly1057Asp-IRS2 locus variability (rs1805097). All participants, contacted at home or in their institution or selected from Italian geriatric and internal medicine or geriatric rehabilitation structures, underwent to a clinical, biochemical, and functional characterization, with particular attention to the insulin and IGF-1 signaling. Insulin resistance (Homeostasis Model Assessment [HOMA]-IR), insulin sensitivity (HOMA IS), and ss-cell function (HOMA-B cell) were calculated by the HOMA2 calculator v2.2 (www.dtu.ox.ac.uk/homa). RESULTS In the whole population, homozygous IRS2(Asp/Asp) participants were more represented among LL versus C participants (16.7% vs 12.0%; p = .04). The association between IRS2 gene polymorphism with longevity (being LL) was independent of anthropometric and metabolic covariates (odds ratio: 2.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.38-3.12; p = .001). Categorizing participants into percentiles by age, IRS2(Asp/Asp) participants were more likely to reach extreme old age (>or=90 percentile, 96-104 years; odds ratio: 2.03, 95% CI = 1.39-2.99; p = .0003). CONCLUSIONS These results support the hypothesis that the IRS2 branch of the insulin and IGF signaling is associated with human longevity. Further studies will be necessary for replicating our finding in an independent larger population group with sufficient power before the association between IRS2 gene polymorphism and longevity can be regarded as proven. Furthermore, studies of genetic and/or environmental background interactions may be useful after basic replication is complete.

Abstract
The prevalence of youth-onset type 2 diabetes is increasing worldwide in parallel with the obesity epidemic. In India, the age at onset of type 2 diabetes had traditionally been a decade or two earlier compared with the western population. Hence, it is not surprising that the prevalence of youth-onset type 2 diabetes is rapidly escalating in India not only among the more affluent sections of society but also in the middle and lower socioeconomic groups as well. In India, type 2 diabetes in youth overlaps with monogenic forms of diabetes such as maturity-onset diabetes of the young, fibrocalculous pancreatic diabetes, and malnutrition-modulated diabetes, all of which are ketosis-resistant forms of youth-onset diabetes. Screening of high-risk groups may help in the early detection of youth-onset type 2 diabetes and prevention of its complications. Primary prevention would require a multisectoral approach involving the government and non-governmental agencies with a focus on healthier lifestyles among children.
