Popis: Background The TCF7L2 rs7903146 variant is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the mechanisms involved in this association remain unknown and may include extrapancreatic effects. The aim of this study was to perform a metabolic characterization of T2DM patients with and without the TCF7L2 rs7903146 risk T allele and analyze some influences of the TCF7L2 genotype on glucose metabolism. Methods Patients with T2DM (n = 162) were genotyped for the TCF7L2 rs7903146 single nucleotide polymorphism. Individuals with CT/TT and CC genotypes were compared regarding basal serum levels of glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin A1C, HDL, uric acid, insulin, and C-peptide. A subset of 56 individuals was evaluated during a 500-calorie mixed-meal test with measurements of glucose, insulin, proinsulin, C-peptide and glucagon. Additional secondary assessments included determination of insulinogenic index (IGI30), and insulin sensitivity (%S) and resistance (IR) by Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA). Results Patients with the CT/TT genotype showed lower baseline plasma concentrations of C-peptide when compared with those with the CC genotype. Of the 56 individuals who participated in the mixed-meal test, 26 and 30 had the CC and CT/TT genotypes, respectively. CT/TT subjects, compared with CC individuals, had higher post prandial plasma levels of insulin and C-peptide at 30–120 min (p
