  ABSTRACT: Background Skin autofluorescence (SAF) is a non-invasive measure reflecting accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) in the skin. Higher SAF levels are associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. An earlier genome-wide association study (GWAS) revealed a strong association between NAT2 variants and SAF. The aim of this study was to calculate SAF heritability and to identify additional genetic variants associated with SAF through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Results In 27,534 participants without diabetes the heritability estimate of lnSAF was 33% ± 2.0% (SE) in a model adjusted for covariates. In meta-GWAS for lnSAF five SNPs, on chromosomes 8, 11, 15 and 16 were associated with lnSAF (P < 5 × 1
