Susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D)
Variant & Polymorphism other
  • SNP identifying TFB1M as a modifier gene for hearing loss associated with the homoplasmic A1555G mutation in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene
  • common variant (rs950994) associated with reduced insulin secretion, elevated postprandial glucose levels, and future risk of T2D
  • Candidate gene

    Therapy target
    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • transgenic-mtTFB1 mice exhibit enhanced 12S rRNA methylation in multiple tissues, increased E2f1 and apoptosis in the stria vascularis and spiral ganglion neurons of the inner ear, and progressive E2f1-dependent hearing loss
