#6113Influence of MATE1 and OCT3 Genetic Variants on Metformin Response in African Americans with Type 2 Diabetes
This study aims to evaluate how genetic variants of transporters OCT3 and MATE1 affect the glucose lowering response and pharmacokinetics of metformin in African Americans with Type 2 Diabetes.

Summary
Study start date: February 1, 2010
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.To investigate the potential association of polymorphic genetic variants MATE1 and OCT3 with altered response to metformin, a genotype to phenotype strategy is employed. Specifically, the investigators will evaluate this hypothesis in African-Americans, a population which has a high incidence of type 2 diabetes and which has high variant allele frequencies (44.5% for MATE1-66T>C and 11.3% in OCT3-81G>delGA) relative to other ethic groups. To assess the effects of these variants on metformin response, the investigators will measure metformin renal clearance (pharmacokinetics of metformin), and plasma glucose and insulin levels (pharmacodynamic response) in healthy and diabetic patients who carry either the reference or variant alleles.
