Reference: Orho-Melander M et al.(2008) Common missense variant in the glucokinase regulatory protein gene is associated with increased plasma triglyceride and C-reactive protein but lower fasting glucose concentrations. Diabetes 57: 3112-3121 [PMID: 18678614]

Interaction Information:

Comment GCKR rs780094 is associated with opposite effects on fasting plasma triglyceride and glucose concentrations. In addition, we confirmed recent reports that the same SNP is associated with C-reactive protein (CRP) level.

increased circulating C-reactive protein level

Comment GCKR coding SNP rs1260326 (Pro446Leu) gave the strongest signal for triglyceride concentrations in the associated interval on chromosome 2p23.

Comment Neither rs780094 nor rs1260326 predicted CVD. The results were similar when age, sex, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, BMI, sBP, dBP, smoking, family history of myocardial infarction, lipid-lowering medication, antihypertensive medication, and CRP were included as covariates.
