Background: In Europeans and populations of European origin, several groups have recently identified novel type 2 diabetes susceptibility genes, including FTO, SLC30A8, HHEX, CDKAL1, CDKN2B, and IGF2BP2, none of which were in the list of functional candidates.Objective and Design: The aim of this study was to replicate in a Japanese population previously identified associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 10 candidate loci with type 2 diabetes using a relatively large sample size: 1921 subjects with type 2 diabetes and 1622 normal controls.Results: A total of 15 SNPs were genotyped. Eight SNPs in five loci were found to be associated with type 2 diabetes: rs3802177 [odds ratio (OR) = 1.16 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-1.27); P = 4.5 X 10(-3)] in SLC30A8; rs1111875 [OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.14-1.40); P = 1.4 X 10(-5)] and rs7923837 [OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.13 - 1.43); P = 1.0 X 10(-4)] in HHEX; rs10811661 [OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.15 - 1.40); P = 1.9 X 10(-6)] in CDKN2B; rs4402960 [OR = 1.23 ( 95% CI 1.11 - 1.36); P = 8.1 X 10(-5)] and rs1470579 [OR = 1.18 (95% CI 1.07 - 1.31); P = 8.3 X 10(-4)] in IGF2BP2; and rs7754840 [OR = 1.28 (95% CI 1.17 - 1.41); P = 4.5 X 10(-7)] and rs7756992 [OR = 1.27 ( 95% CI 1.15 - 1.40); P = 9.8 X 10(-7)] inCDKAL1. The first and second strongest associations were found at variants in CDKAL1 and CDKN2B, both of which are involved in the regenerative capacity of pancreatic beta-cells.Conclusion: Some of these variants represent common type 2 diabetes- susceptibility genes in both Japanese and Europeans.
