We previously discovered two aminoacid polymorphisms in codons 513 and 972 of the protein insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), which is important in cellular insulin action. We have investigated whether these polymorphisms are associated with changes in insulin sensitivity in a random sample of young healthy adults.Insulin sensitivity and secretion were measured during a combined intravenous glucose and tolbutamide tolerance test in 380 unrelated white subjects aged 18-32. IRS-1 polymorphisms were examined conformation polymorphism and enzyme digestion. No homozygous carrier of the codon-513 variant was identified, but one non-obese man had the codon-972 mutation on both alleles. He had low fasting-serum insulin and C-peptide concentrations and low insulin sensitivity and glucose effectiveness. During a 24 h dexamethasone test, he developed transient diabetes. In their heterozygous forms the codon-513 and codon-972 variants of IRS-1 were found in 3% and 9% of the subjects. Non-obese carriers of either polymorphism had similar insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell function to non-obese wild-type subjects (no known variants of IRS-1). Analysis of variance showed, however, a significant interaction between obesity (body-mass index greater than or equal to 25 kg/m(2)) and the heterozygous form of the codon-972 variant (p
