| Abstract |
Glucokinase regulatory protein gene (GCKR) variant rs780092 is a novel genetic variant associated with serum triacylglycerol (TG) identified in a genome-wide association study in East Asians. We aimed to investigate associations of rs780092 with incident type 2 diabetes and dyslipidaemia, and the longitudinal changes in glucose and lipid levels. A community-based prospective cohort study was conducted at baseline in 2008, including 5,613 non-diabetic participants (37% male, mean age 57.6 years) with 5 years of follow-up. Blood glucose and lipid was measured at baseline and follow-up. Each rs780092 T-allele was associated with a 17% lower risk of incident type 2 diabetes (HR 0.83 [95% CI 0.73, 0.95]) and 36% higher risk of incident hypertriacylglycerolaemia (OR 1.36 [95% CI 1.08, 1.72]), after adjustment for baseline fasting glucose and TG and other confounders. The T-allele was associated with a 5 year increasing level of log10 TG (β ± SE, 0.01 ± 0.004, p = 0.005). Mediation analysis showed that both baseline TG and the 5 year increase in log10 TG were significant mediators in the associations of rs780092 with risk of diabetes. The risk of incident type 2 diabetes associated with 1 SD increase in total and LDL-cholesterol was 35% and 22% lower in TT carriers compared with CC carriers, respectively (both p for interaction ≤ 0.04). The GCKR rs780092 variant showed opposite-directional associations with type 2 diabetes and hypertriacylglycerolaemia in a Chinese population. Both baseline level and 5 year change in serum TG were mediators of the association between the genetic variant and type 2 diabetes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 January 2016.
All research outputs
#14,182,150
of 22,840,638 outputs
Outputs from Diabetologia
#4,308
of 5,035 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#146,612
of 284,675 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diabetologia
#51
of 73 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,840,638 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,035 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 22.7. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 284,675 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 73 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
