Chromosome 20q12-q13.1 has been linked to type 2 diabetes (T2D) in multiple populations. We examined the influence of genes in this region on T2D and BMI in two European American case-control populations. SNPs were genotyped in 300 diabetic patients and 310 controls. A subset of 72 SNPs were further genotyped in 470 cases and 442 controls. All genes examined showed evidence of association with T2D in the initial sample (additive P-value [P(a)]=0.00090-0.045). SNPs near PREX1 were also associated in the second case-control population (P(a)=0.017-0.042). The combined analysis resulted in the same SNPs, among others, associated with T2D (P(a)=0.0013-0.041). Stratification analysis by T2D status showed that association with BMI was observed solely in cases (P(a)=0.0018-0.041). Mediation testing revealed that 30-40% of the effects of these SNPs on T2D were significantly mediated by BMI. SNPs near PREX1 may contribute to T2D susceptibility mediated through effects of adiposity in European Americans.
