This study involved 422 individuals, 214 diabetes mellitus cases, and 208 healthy controls. The PCR‐RFLP technique was used to determine the genotype of the IGF2BP2 gene for the SNPs rs4402960 (G>T) and rs1470579 (A>C).
The results showed that the C allele of the rs1470579 variant and the T allele of the rs440960 variant were significantly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus group ( p = 0.0029 and 0.0001) as reported for both alleles, respectively. High frequencies of haplotypes TA and TC were observed in type 2 diabetes patients.
This study aimed to determine the association between IGF2BP2 polymorphisms and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present study showed that IGF2BP2 rs1470579 and rs4402960 polymorphism were significantly associated with the increased risk of T2DM in the Saudi Arabian population and presented a genetic model to screen the high‐risk individuals with further validations.
