Abstract

The hypothesis of the study was that IGF2 gene polymorphisms were associated with longitudinal trends in weight through modification of IGF-II concentration.Observational study that explored associations of the IGF2 gene and baseline circulating IGF-II concentration with ‘real-world' longitudinal trends in body-mass index in a type 2 diabetes population.26 haplotype tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the IGF2 and H19 genes were studied in 485 Caucasian individuals in the Salford Longitudinal Diabetes Cohort. A generalised-estimating equation (GEE) model was used to separately study the association of SNPs and IGF-II concentration with 8-year longitudinal trends in body-mass index.High serum IGF-II concentration at baseline was associated with weight loss over the study period (β=-0.006, 95% CI -0.009 to -0.002, p
