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

In the citing paper
“These developments have enabled researchers to bridge the gap between the monogenic and polygenic realms, identifying common variant modifiers of monogenic phenotypes contributing to the variable expression of rare, large-effect alleles26,93, and low-frequency and rare variants that influence common multifactorial traits94,95.”
From A brief history of human disease genetics (2020) · cites this paper as [94]
In the citing paper
“Variants of the ADCY3 gene have been linked to increased body mass index (BMI, corrected for height) in children (157); increased type 2 diabetes, BMI, fat percentage, fasting plasma glucose, and acute plasma glucose in a Greenlandic cohort (158); and increased BMI in obese adult subjects (159).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
