Aims/hypothesis The aim of this study was to estimate the heritability of quantitative measures of glucose regulation obtained from a tolbutamide-modified frequently sampled IVGTT (t-FSIGT) and to correlate the heritability of the glucose-stimulated beta cell response to the tolbutamide-induced beta cell response. In addition, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) having an exclusive effect on either glucose- or tolbutamide-stimulated insulin release were identified. Methods Two hundred and eighty-four non-diabetic family members of patients with type 2 diabetes underwent a t-FSIGT with intravenous injection of glucose at t = 0 min and tolbutamide at t = 20 min. Measurements of plasma glucose, serum insulin and serum C-peptide were taken at 33 time points from fasting to 180 min. Insulin secretion rate, acute insulin response (AIR), disposition index (D-I) after glucose and disposition index after tolbutamide (D-IT), insulin sensitivity (S-I), glucose effectiveness (S-G) and beta cell responsiveness to glucose were calculated. A polygenic variance component model was used to estimate heritability, genetic correlations and associations. Results We found high heritabilities for acute insulin secretion subsequent to glucose stimulation (AIR(glucose) h (2) +/- SE: 0.88 +/- 0.14), but these were slightly lower after tolbutamide (AIR(tolbutamide) h (2) +/- SE: 0.69 +/- 0.14). We also estimated the heritabilities for S-I (h (2) +/- SE: 0.26 +/- 0.12), S-G (h (2) +/- SE: 0.47 +/- 0.13), D-I (h (2) +/- SE: 0.56 +/- 0.14), D-IT (h (2) +/- SE: 0.49 +/- 0.14) and beta cell responsiveness to glucose (h (2) +/- SE: 0.66 +/- 0.12). Additionally, strong genetic correlations were found between measures of beta cell response after glucose and tolbutamide stimulation, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.77 to 0.88. Furthermore, we identified five SNPs with an exclusive effect on either glucose-stimulated (rs5215, rs1111875, rs11920090) or tolbutamide-stimulated (rs10946398, rs864745) insulin secretion. Conclusions/interpretation Our data demonstrate that both glucose- and tolbutamide-induced insulin secretions are highly heritable traits, which are largely under the control of the same genes.

The gut microbiota in multiple sclerosis varies with disease activity

Poulsen, Sofia K. Forslund, Henrik Vestergaard, Torben Hansen, Susanne Brix, Annette Oturai, Per Soelberg Sorensen, Stanislav D. Ehrlich, Oluf Pedersen

Summary: This study found significant differences in the gut microbiota of patients with multiple sclerosis, which are directly associated with inflammation markers. In treatment-naive cases, the bacterial richness is positively linked to disease activity. However, two symbiotic bacterial species that produce beneficial immune-modulating compounds were found in non-disease-active cases, providing a rationale for testing these bacteria as adjunct therapeutics in future clinical trials.

Summary: This study investigated the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of anorexia nervosa (AN) by analyzing metagenomics and metabolomics data from AN patients and healthy females. The results showed that AN patients exhibited alterations in gut microbiota composition and function, as well as increased levels of metabolites associated with reduced food intake. Microbiota transplantation experiments further confirmed the contribution of gut microbiota to AN behavior.

Summary: This study investigated the glycemic phenotype and treatment response of patients with type 2 diabetes carrying rare GCK variants consistent with GCK-diabetes. Carriers of pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants had lower fasting glucose and C-peptide levels. Stopping medication did not lead to worsening of HbA1c or fasting glucose. Variants of uncertain significance should be interpreted carefully.

Summary: This study conducted the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) on atopic dermatitis (AD) to date, identifying 81 replicated AD-associated loci in Europeans and 10 additional loci in a multi-ancestry analysis. The implicated genes are predominantly involved in immune pathways relevant to atopic inflammation and may offer drug repurposing opportunities.

Summary: This study identifies new genetic variants associated with resting heart rate (RHR) and demonstrates that higher genetically predicted RHR is associated with a decreased risk of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke. Genome-wide analysis reveals multiple genetic variants in cardiomyocyte-related genes and provides insights into their electrocardiogram (ECG) signature. Mendelian randomization analyses indicate that higher genetically predicted RHR increases the risk of dilated cardiomyopathy, but reduces the risk of atrial fibrillation, ischemic stroke, and cardio-embolic stroke.

Summary: Bilirubin is inversely associated with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and all-cause mortality in adults. This study found that bilirubin is also negatively associated with cardiometabolic risk factors and inflammation in children and adolescents. Genome-wide association studies identified genetic loci associated with plasma bilirubin concentrations.

Summary: This study developed a multiplexed yeast complementation assay to measure the activity of GCK variants, capturing 97% of all possible missense and nonsense variants. The results showed that the activity scores correlated with in vitro catalytic efficiency, fasting glucose levels in carriers of GCK variants, and evolutionary conservation. This comprehensive assessment of GCK variant activity is important for variant interpretation and diagnosis, as well as for developing therapeutics targeting GCK.

Summary: This study aimed to identify and characterize novel variants in genes associated with MODY in the Greenlandic population. Through screening data from Greenlandic population cohorts, researchers identified a novel variant in the known MODY gene HNF1A that is specific to the Greenlandic Inuit population. The variant was found to be associated with diabetes and glucose levels, and had a significant impact on diabetes prevalence in Greenland.

The effect of diabetes and the diabetogenic TBC1D4 p.Arg684ter variant on kidney function in Inuit in Greenland

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of diabetes and the diabetogenic TBC1D4 variant on kidney function in a population-based setting in Greenland. Data from a health survey and TBC1D4 genotypes of 5,336 Greenlanders were analyzed to assess the odds ratios (ORs) of albuminuria and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with and without diabetes, taking into account the effect of the TBC1D4 variant. The results showed that diabetes was associated with an elevated risk of albuminuria, while the TBC1D4 variant was protective against the development of albuminuria. However, neither diabetes nor the TBC1D4 variant were significantly associated with CKD. The findings suggest a potential renoprotective effect of the TBC1D4 variant on albuminuria, warranting further investigation.

Summary: In Greenland, traditional marine foods are being replaced by sucrose- and starch-rich foods. A common genetic variant in the sucrase-isomaltase (SI) gene has been found in Greenlanders, which affects their ability to digest sucrose and some starch. This variant is associated with a healthier metabolic phenotype, and this study aims to investigate the metabolic and microbial differences and food preferences among individuals with different SI genotypes.
