Abstract

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than sixty single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, the identification of causal risk SNPs for T2D pathogenesis was complicated by the factor that each risk SNP is a surrogate for the hundreds of SNPs, most of which reside in non-coding regions. Here we provide a comprehensive annotation of 65 known T2D related SNPs and inspect putative functional SNPs probably causing protein dysfunction, response element disruptions of known transcription factors related to T2D genes and regulatory response element disruption of four histone marks in pancreas and pancreas islet. In new identified risk SNPs, some of them were reported as T2D related SNPs in recent studies. Further, we found that accumulation of modest effects of single sites markedly enhanced the risk prediction based on 1989 T2D samples and 3000 healthy controls. The A ROC value increased from 0.58 to 0.62 by only using genotype score when putative risk SNPs were added. Besides, the net reclassification improvement is 10.03% on the addition of new risk SNPs. Taken together, functional annotation could provide a list of prioritized potential risk SNPs for the further estimation on the T2D susceptibility of individuals.
