Abstract:
Insulin resistance, a major predictor of type 2 diabetes mellitus, is genetically inherited in Pima Indians, a population with a high prevalence of the metabolically complex disease. Protein targeting to glycogen/PPP1R5 has recently been identified as a potential regulator of glycogen synthase, the rate-limiting enzyme of the insulin-induced glycogenesis. The gene is located on chromosome 10q23-24, where there is a suggestive linkage to insulin action in this population, establishing it as a functional and positional candidate gene. In this study, we discovered 2 novel polymorphisms upstream of the 5'UTR of the gene, with only one found in Pima Indians, but no polymorphism in the coding sequence. The genotype frequencies of the polymorphism and transcript levels of the gene in skeletal muscle do not correlate with insulin action in the subjects. These results exclude any significant role of protein targeting to glycogen/PPP1R5 in insulin resistance in Pima Indians.
