Single nucleotide polymorphisms of TCF7L2 are linked to diabetic coronary atherosclerosis.
<h4>Background</h4>Coronary artery disease (CAD) shares common risk factors with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Variations in the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene, particularly rs7903146, increase T2DM risk. Potential links between genetic variants of the TCF7L2 locus and coronary at...

This association was strong and significant in T2DM patients (n = 393; OR = 1.91 [1.32-2.75]; p = 0.001) but not in non-diabetic subjects (OR = 1.09 [0.90-1.33]; p = 0.370). The interaction risk allele by T2DM was significant (p(interaction) = 0.002), indicating a significantly stronger impact of the polymorphism on CAD in T2DM patients than in non-diabetic subjects. TCF7L2 polymorphisms rs12255372 and rs11196205 were also significantly associated with CAD in diabetic patients (adjusted additive OR = 1.90 [1.31-2.74]; p = 0.001 and OR = 1.75 [1.22-2.50]; p = 0.002, respectively).
