| Abstract | The relationship between genetic risk variants associated with glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes risk has yet to be fully explored in African American populations. We pooled data from 4 prospective studies including 4622 African Americans to assess whether β-cell dysfunction (BCD) and/or insulin resistance (IR) genetic variants were associated with increased type 2 diabetes risk. The BCD genetic risk score (GRS) and combined BCD/IR GRS were significantly associated with increased type 2 diabetes risk. In cardiometabolic-stratified models, the BCD and IR GRS were associated with increased type 2 diabetes risk among 5 cardiometabolic strata: 3 clinically healthy strata and 2 clinically unhealthy strata. Genetic risk scores related to BCD and IR were associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes in African Americans. Notably, the GRSs were significant predictors of type 2 diabetes among individuals in clinically normal ranges of cardiometabolic traits. |
