NCBI Summary

This gene encodes a member of the IGF-II mRNA-binding protein (IMP) family. The protein encoded by this gene contains several four KH domains and two RRM domains. It functions by binding to the 5’ UTR of the insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA and regulating IGF2 translation. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

.0001 DIABETES MELLITUS, NONINSULIN-DEPENDENT, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO

In genomewide association studies of type 2 DIABETES (125853), the DIABETES Genetics Initiative of Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, Lund University, and Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research (2007), Zeggini et al. (2007), and Scott et al. (2007) found that the T allele of rs4402960 confers increased susceptibility to type 2 DIABETES. Combined analyses obtained a P value of 8.9 x 10(-16).
