Abstract
According to genome-wide association studies (GWAS) a locus in the HNF1A gene has pleiotropic effects on several metabolic traits. In a large single-centre study we used the intronic variant rs1183910 located in a region with no or low recombination rate as an instrument for the HNF1A locus to evaluate pleiotropic effects of this locus on the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, as well as on body composition and levels of non-fasting glucose, lipids, acute-phase reactants, and biomarkers of liver and pancreas function.
