Context: Multiple common genetic variants have been associated with type 2 diabetes, but the mechanism by which they predispose to diabetes is incompletely understood. One such example is variation in MTNR1B, which implicates melatonin and its receptor in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Objective: To characterize the effect of diabetes-associated genetic variation at rs10830963 in the MTNR1B locus on islet function in people without type 2 diabetes. Design: The association of genetic variation at rs10830963 with glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, and indices of insulin secretion and action were tested in a cohort of 294 individuals who had previously undergone an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Insulin sensitivity, β-cell responsivity to glucose, and Disposition Indices were measured using the oral minimal model. Setting: The Clinical Research and Translation Unit at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN. Participants: Two cohorts were utilized for this analysis: 1 cohort was recruited on the basis of prior participation in a population-based study in Olmsted County. The other cohort was recruited on the basis of TCF7L2 genotype at rs7903146 from the Mayo Biobank. Intervention: Two-hour, 7-sample OGTT. Main Outcome Measures: Fasting, nadir, and integrated glucagon concentrations. Results: One or 2 copies of the G-allele at rs10830963 were associated with increased postchallenge glucose and glucagon concentrations compared to subjects with the CC genotype. Conclusion: The effects of rs10830963 on glucose homeostasis and predisposition to type 2 diabetes are likely to be partially mediated through changes in α-cell function.

Abstract
Context: Multiple common genetic variants have been associated with type 2 diabetes, but the mechanism by which they predispose to diabetes is incompletely understood. One such example is variation in MTNR1B, which implicates melatonin and its receptor in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Objective: To characterize the effect of diabetes-associated genetic variation at rs10830963 in the MTNR1B locus on islet function in people without type 2 diabetes. Design: The association of genetic variation at rs10830963 with glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, and indices of insulin secretion and action were tested in a cohort of 294 individuals who had previously undergone an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Insulin sensitivity, β-cell responsivity to glucose, and Disposition Indices were measured using the oral minimal model.
