Measurements of fasting glucose (FG) or glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) are two clinically approved approaches commonly used to determine glycemia, both of which are influenced by genetic factors. Obtaining accurate measurements of FG or HbA1c is not without its challenges, though. Measuring glycated serum protein (GSP) offers an alternative approach for assessing glycemia. The aim of this study was to estimate the heritability of GSP and GSP expressed as a percentage of total serum albumin (%GA) using a variance component approach and localize genomic regions (QTLs) that harbor genes likely to influence GSP and %GA trait variation in a large extended multigenerational pedigree from Jiri, Nepal (n=1,800). We also performed quantitative bivariate analyses to assess the relationship between GSP or %GA and several cardiometabolic traits. Additive genetic effects significantly influence variation in GSP and %GA levels (p values: 1.15x10(-5) and 3.39x10(-5), respectively). We localized a significant (LOD score=3.18) and novel GSP QTL on chromosome 11q, which has been previously linked to type 2 diabetes. Two common (MAF>0.4) SNPs within the chromosome 11 QTL were associated with GSP (adjusted pvalue
