Does your gene type affect how the pancreas responds to sugar?
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is looking at whether a specific gene type (rs7903146) affects how the pancreas produces a hormone called GLP-1, which helps control blood sugar. It may help explain why some people are more likely to develop diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 25 and 70 years old.
- You must have either the TT or CC gene type at rs7903146.
- Your HbA1c (average blood sugar) must be 6.5% or lower.
- You cannot be taking any diabetes medications like metformin or sulfonylureas.
- You cannot have had prior upper abdominal surgery (like gastric banding or stomach surgery).

This study looks at how your genes affect your body's response to a diabetes medication called semaglutide. It may help people with slightly high blood sugar (pre-diabetes) understand why some respond better than others.
This study looks at how a hormone called GLP-1, made in the pancreas, affects blood sugar levels in people with borderline high blood sugar (prediabetes). It may help find new ways to prevent diabetes.
This study looks at how certain genes affect the risk of type 2 diabetes and how well the drug exenatide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist) works in Chinese patients. It aims to see if your genetic makeup can predict how you will respond to treatment.
This study looks at how certain gene changes affect blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes and also in people who have had pancreas surgery. It compares these groups with healthy volunteers to see how genes influence the risk of diabetes.
This study looks at how cells in the pancreas communicate to help the body produce enough insulin when you have insulin resistance (weight-related). It tests a peptide to see how this communication works.
This study looks at genetic factors in people recently diagnosed with diabetes to understand what might predict who needs insulin treatment. Researchers will analyze blood samples and medical information to see if genetic testing could help doctors predict your treatment path.
