Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) is a catalyst of the rate-limiting step in the gluconeogenic pathway and is regulated at the transcriptional level predominantly by insulin, glucocorticoids, glucagon, and cAMP. The -232C > G polymorphism in the gene encoding PEPCK (PCK1) is reported to associate with Type 2 diabetes in Canadian Caucasians and Oji-Cree populations. We have estimated the impact of the PCK1-232C > G polymorphism in a relatively large-scale case-control study of Type 2 diabetes and in association studies of common metabolic phenotypes. Interaction studies of the PCK1-232C > G polymorphism with variants in the genes encoding peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma co-activator (PGC)-1alpha and hepatic nuclear factor (HNF)-4alpha were also performed.
