  • Genome-wide association analysis identifies ancestry-specific genetic variation associated with acute response to metformin and glipizide in SUGAR-MGH - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37233759

    ABSTRACT: Aims/hypothesis Characterisation of genetic variation that influences the response to glucose-lowering medications is instrumental to precision medicine for treatment of type 2 diabetes. The Study to Understand the Genetics of the Acute Response to Metformin and Glipizide in Humans (SUGAR-MGH) examined the acute response to metformin and glipizide in order to identify new pharmacogenetic associations for the response to common glucose-lowering medications in individuals at risk of type 2 diabetes. Methods One thousand participants at risk for type 2 diabetes from diverse ancestries underwent sequential glipizide and metformin challenges. A genome-wide association study was performed using the Illumina Multi-Ethnic Genotyping Array. Imputation was performed with the TOPMed referen

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Discuss with your doctor

  • metformin dosing and efficacy Moderate

    G allele carriers at rs111770298 show reduced fasting glucose response to metformin in pharmacogenetic studies.

    if prescribed metformin, discuss whether standard dosing is appropriate or alternative approaches should be considered

Lifestyle

  • intensive lifestyle modifications for diabetes prevention Moderate

    Reduced metformin response makes lifestyle interventions more critical, since medication may be less effective.

    prioritize regular exercise, dietary modifications, and weight management
