Melatonin receptor 1B gene rs10830963 polymorphism, depressive symptoms and glycaemic traits.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that the diabetes risk variant rs10830963 does not contribute to the known comorbidity between depression and type 2 diabetes. Key messages The association between depression and type 2 diabetes is bidirectional. We tested whether a common variant rs10830963 in the gene encoding Melatonin Receptor 1B influences the known association between depressive symptoms and glycaemic traits in a population-based sample from Western Finland. The MTNR1B genetic diabetes risk variant rs10830963 does not contribute to the known comorbidity between depression and type 2 diabetes. Depressive symptoms and rs10830963 are associated with a worse glycaemic profile independently of each other. PMID: 30089436 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
