To replicate the recent finding of a type 2 diabetes locus (NIDDM2) on 12q,
families segregating early-onset autosomal-dominant type 2 diabetes were
screened for linkage. Included were 26 Caucasian and 6 non-Caucasian
pedigrees with an average age at diabetes diagnosis of 37 +/- 18 years.
Affected (n = 233) and nonaffected (n = 152) family members were genotyped
for 17 markers covering 90 cM on chromosome 12q. While no evidence for
linkage was detected at the NIDDM2 locus, a linkage peak was observed 50 cM
centromeric to NIDDM2 at markers D12S375 and D12S1052. In a nonparametric
analysis, the Z(all) score was 2.9 (P = 0.015) at D12S375, and increased to
3.8 (P = 0.007) among Caucasian families. Further increase in significance
was observed in pedigrees with poor insulin response, with a maximum Z(all)
of 6.2 (P = 0.002) at D12S375. Suggestive evidence of linkage was also
detected by the parametric analysis, with the heterogeneity logarithm of
odds score peaking at 2.5 (alpha = 0.15) between D12S375 and D12S1052. In
summary, our data indicate that the NIDDM2 locus does not play a major role
in early-onset autosomal-dominant type 2 diabetes. Rather, they strongly
suggest that a previously undetected type 2 diabetes locus exists 50 cM
from NIDDM2 on 12q.
