Influence of depression on genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes in a multiethnic longitudinal study.

ABSTRACT: We assessed the association between depression status and prevalent and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D) as well as the interaction between depression and a genetic risk score (GS) based on 20 T2D single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a multi-ethnic longitudinal study. We studied 17,375 participants at risk for dysglycemia. All participants had genotypic and phenotypic data collected at baseline and 9,930 participants were followed-up for a median of 3.3 years. Normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG)/impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and T2D statuses were determined using an oral glucose tolerance test and the 2003 American Diabetes Association criteria. Depression was diagnosed at baseline using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition
