to dissecting mendelian forms of diabetes have been hugely successful in identifying a small subset of diabetic patients in whom rare, highly penetrant mutations of a single gene cause their diabetes (13).While common variants of these genes that make a small contribution to polygenic diabetes may also exist (13), the variants causing monogenic diabetes have limited utility in pharmacogenetics due to their low allele frequency.The vast majority of type 2 diabetes patients have polygenetic forms of the disease that typically also require a permissive environment (e.g., obesity, sedentary lifestyle, advancing age, etc.) to be penetrant.Each locus contributes a small amount of risk (odds ratios typically ranging from 1.1- to 1.5-fold), so large cohorts are needed to identify the at-risk alleles.Some of the loci identified to date include transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) (14), calpain 10 (CAPN10) (15), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARG) (16), and potassium inwardly rectifying channel, subfamily J, member 11 (KCNJ11) (17).However, the pace of gene identification is increasing due to the availability of large-scale databases of genetic variation and advances in genotyping technology.A recent genome-wide study identified solute carrier family 30, member 8 (SLC30A8), a β cell Zn transporter, and two other genomic regions as additional diabetes risk

maturity-onset diabetes of the young due to mutations in the gene encoding glucokinase (GCK), the hyperglycemia is mild and stable, the risk of complications is low, and dietary management is often sufficient.In contrast, in patients who have maturity-onset diabetes of the young due to mutations in HNF1A, the disease follows a more aggressive course, with a greater risk of severe complications, but is particularly responsive to the hypoglycemic effects of sulfonylureas. 62,73Most children with neonatal diabetes have mutations in KCNJ11 or ABCC8, adjacent genes that jointly encode the beta-cell ATP-sensitive potassium channel that mediates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and is the target of sulfonylureas.In such children, treatment with sulfonylureas has proved more effective and convenient than the lifelong insulin therapy previously considered the default option. 74,75n children with severe obesity due to profound leptin deficiency, exogenous leptin therapy is lifesaving. 76s yet, there are insufficient genetic data to support management decisions for common forms of type 2 diabetes and obesity. 77Although the TCF7L2 genotype is associated with variation in the response to sulfonylurea treatment, 78 the effect is too modest to guide the care of individual patients.For the time being, the contribution of genetic information to therapy is most likely to
