1 20627640 We analysed here the association between T2D (and related traits) and rs4402960 and rs1470579 in IGF2BP2, and rs46522 and rs6949019 (marking IGF2BP1 and IGF2BP3 respectively) from the Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility (AGES)-Reykjavik Study (N approximately 2500 aged 65-96 years).
2 20627640 The lower fasting insulin levels and the impaired beta-cell function associated with IGF2BP2 SNPs are independent of obesity phenotypes.
3 17463246 With collaborators (FUSION and WTCCC/UKT2D), we identified and confirmed three loci associated with T2D-in a noncoding region near CDKN2A and CDKN2B, in an intron of IGF2BP2, and an intron of CDKAL1-and replicated associations near HHEX and in SLC30A8 found by a recent whole-genome association study.
4 21576258 We describe the ability of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) to regulate the cap-independent translation of IGF2 mRNA through phosphorylation of IMP2, an oncofetal RNA-binding protein.
5 21576258 Double phosphorylation promotes IMP2 binding to the IGF2 leader 3 mRNA 5' untranslated region, and the translational initiation of this mRNA through eIF-4E- and 5' cap-independent internal ribosomal entry.
