How your genes affect insulin production
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how a specific gene change affects the body's ability to produce insulin. It may help doctors understand why some people are more likely to develop diabetes and could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have the TT or CC version of the gene called rs7903146
- You are between 25 and 70 years old
- Your blood sugar levels are normal or slightly elevated (HbA1c 6.5% or lower)
- You are not taking any diabetes medications like metformin or sulfonylureas
- You have not had surgery on your upper abdomen (like stomach banding)
- You do not have any active serious illness or cancer

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 the body makes insulin during pregnancy to understand why some women get gestational diabetes. If you join, you'll have some extra blood tests during pregnancy and after birth to help researchers learn more.
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 specific genetic changes affect beta cells, which make insulin. It may help people with rare genetic forms of diabetes or other beta cell disorders, and also needs healthy volunteers for comparison.
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.
This study looks at how your genes might affect the way your body responds to metformin, a common diabetes medication. It aims to see if a specific genetic variation influences treatment outcomes.
