CONTEXT: The type 2 iodothyronine deiodinase (D2) catalyzes the conversion of T(4) to the active form of thyroid hormone, which is a critical regulator of thermogenesis and glucose metabolism. A Thr92Ala polymorphism in the gene encoding D2 (DIO2) has been reported to associate with insulin resistance. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of the DIO2 Thr92Ala variant on type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, and related quantitative metabolic traits including measures of insulin resistance. Because DIO2 is activated through a beta-adrenergic receptor-dependent pathway, we further hypothesized that variation in the ADRB genes interacts with DIO2 Thr92Ala variant to influence metabolic traits. DESIGN AND PATIENTS: The DIO2 polymorphism was genotyped in a total of 7342 white subjects including 1405 T2D patients. RESULTS: We detected no significant association of the DIO2 Thr92Ala polymorphism with T2D or obesity. We observed nominal significant associations of genotype with increased area under the serum insulin curve during an oral glucose tolerance test (P = 0.03) and elevated fasting plasma glucose (P = 0.02) in homozygous Ala92 allele carriers, the latter strengthened by epistasis with the ADRB2 Gly16Arg variant in a double recessive model (P = 0.004). However, after permutation procedure, performed to correct for multiple hypothesis testing, the associations did not reach study-wide significance. CONCLUSIONS: The DIO2 Thr92Ala variant does not confer an increased risk of T2D, obesity, or insulin resistance.
