Background: Polymorphism of rs2293855 in gene MTMR9 has been associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome. We aim to study the association of rs2293855 with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) intermediate phenotypes in a Han Chinese population. Methods: The polymorphism was genotyped in 838 Han Chinese individuals using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS); all participants underwent a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTF); associations between the polymorphism and glucose tolerance, indices of insulin secretion and indices of insulin sensitivity were analyzed. Results: The frequency of genotypes and alleles differed significantly between normal glucose tolerance and prediabetes (P = 0.043 and P = 0.009, respectively). The GG homozygous presented higher fasting plasma glucose (P = 0.009), higher 2-hour plasma glucose (P = 0.024) and higher glucose area under the curve (AUC, P 0.01). Moreover, the G allele of rs2293855 was associated with glucose intolerance (fasting glucose, P = 0.012; glucose AUC, P = 0.006; 2-h glucose, P = 0.024); it is also associated with decreased indices of insulin sensitivity (fasting insulin, P = 0.043; insulin sensitivity index composite, P = 0.009; homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, HOMA-IR, P = 0.008) and decreased indices of insulin secretion (HOMA of beta cell function, HOMA-B, P = 0.028; insulinogenic index, P = 0.003). In addition, the minor allele G was also associated with increased risk of prediabetes (OR = 1.463, 95%CI: 1.066-2.009, P = 0.018). Conclusions: Polymorphism of rs2293855 in MTMR9 is associated with measures of glucose tolerance, indices of insulin secretion and indices of insulin sensitivity. We also suggest that allele G is likely to increase the risk of prediabetes by influencing both insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
