Abstract
We have identified a variant in adenylate cyclase 3 (ADCY3) associated with markedly increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes in the Greenlandic population. The variant disrupts a splice-acceptor site and carriers display decreased ADCY3 RNA expression. Additionally, we observe an enrichment of rare ADCY3 loss-of-function variants among type 2 diabetes patients in trans-ethnic cohorts. These findings provide novel information on disease etiology relevant for future treatment strategies.
