The aim of this study was to investigate whether common variants in genes CDKALI, HHEX, ADCY5, SRR, PTPRD that predisposed to type 2 diabetes were also associated with reduced birthweight in Chinese Han population.Methods: Twelve single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs7756992/rs10946398 in CDKAL1, rsl 111875 in HHEA; rs391300 in SRR, rs17584499 in PTPRD. rs1170806/rs9883204/rs4678017/rs9881942/rs7641344/rs6777397/rs6226243 in ADCY5) were genotyped in 1174 unrelated individuals born in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 1921 to 1954 by TaqMan allelic discrimination assays, of which 645 had normal glucose tolerance, 181 had developed type 2 diabetes and 348 impaired glucose regulation. Associations of these 12 genetic variants with birthweight and glucose metabolism in later life were analyzed.Results: Birthweight was inversely associated with CDKAL 1-rs 10946398 (β = -41 g [95% confidence interval [CI]: -80, 3], P= 0.034), common variants both associated with increased risk of impaired glucose metabolism and decreased insulin secretion index later in life. After adjusting for sex, gestational weeks, parity and maternal age, the risk allele of CDKAL1-rs7756992 was associated with reduced birthweight (β = 36 g [95% CI: -72, -0.2], P = 0.048). The risk allele in SRR showed a trend toward a reduction ofbirthweight (P =0.085). Conclusions: This study identified the association between type 2 diabetes risk variants in CDKAL 1 and birthweight in Chinese Hart individuals, and the carrier of risk allele within SRR had the trend of reduced birthweight. This demonstrates that there is a clear overlap between the genetics of type 2 diabetes and fetal growth, which proposes that lower birth weight and type 2 diabetes may be two phenotypes of one genotype.展开更多
