TL;DR: The Metformin Genetics Consortium reported a three-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS), consisting of 13,123 participants of different ancestries as discussed by the authors, showing that the C allele of rs8192675 in the intron of SLC2A2, which encodes the facilitated glucose transporter GLUT2, was associated with a 0.17% (P = 6.6 × 10−14) greater metformin-induced reduction in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in 10,577 participants of European ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Association between Social Jetlag, the Metabolic Syndrome, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the General Population : the New Hoorn study

TL;DR: In this article, the association of social jetlag with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus was examined in a large-scale study, and the association was shown to be associated with the metabolic consequences of jetlag.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction of coronary heart disease risk in a general, pre-diabetic, and diabetic population during 10 years of follow-up: accuracy of the Framingham, SCORE, and UKPDS risk functions: The Hoorn Study
TL;DR: The Framingham function for prediction of the first CHD event is likely to overestimate an individual's absolute CHD risk, and application of the SCORE and UKPDS functions might be useful in the absence of a more valid tool.
