Normal allele: CC
common variant MTNR1B, which encodes melatonin receptor 1B, increases the risk of impaired fasting glycaemia and type 2 diabetes due to impaired glucose-stimulated insulin release. The findings suggest that carriers of the G allele rs10830963 may have greater improvement in obesity and body fat distribution when following a low-fat diet.
