A missense mutation in the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 gene (LRP6) was recently shown to be responsible for a disorder characterized by early-onset coronary artery disease as well as diabetes mellitus (DM), hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and osteoporosis. Mice deficient in LRP5, a closely related paralog of LRP6, manifest a marked impairment in glucose tolerance. The aim of the present study was to examine whether common variants of LRP5 and LRP6 are associated with Type 2 DM or dyslipidemia in Japanese individuals.
