Background. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) provides an unprecedented opportunity to reveal substantial genetic contribution to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and glycemic identification of allelic heterogeneity and population-specific genetic variants, yet it also faces difficulty due to the vast amount of potential confounding factors and limited availability of clinical data. To identify responsible susceptibility loci and genomic polymorphism for T2DM and glycemic traits, we have systematically investigated a genome-wide association study related to T2DM. Although GWAS has captured many common genetic variations, which are related to T2DM, each risk allele (RA) of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at these loci is not conclusive. Therefore, it is common to present a combination of several SNPs to infer T2DM risk, yet it is still insufficient to be deterministic. To streamline the identification of a deterministic genetic variation in T2DM, we developed this meta-analysis as a showcase to comprehensively identify the association between cumulative RAs and T2DM risk by combining different studies in reported literature and databases. After all, we identified that PGC-1α rs8192678 polymorphism can be considered as a potentially deterministic biomarker in T2DM risk. Previous studies have potentially linked PGC-1α rs8192678 polymorphism to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk, but the results remain inconsistent in different populations and are not conclusive. We developed a new meta-analysis approach to systematically identify the association between PGC-1α rs8192678 polymorphism and T2DM, and we have comprehensively assessed different ethnic groups to validate our findings. Methods. We performed comprehensive information retrieval and knowledge discovery meta-analysis by searching extensively published literature and different electronic databases to acquire eligible studies for the above association study. We developed a method to use pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in five genetic models (allelic, dominant, recessive, homozygous, and heterozygous genetic models) to identify the relationship among ethnicity subgroup analyses comprehensively. Results. We identified 20 eligible studies consisting of 16,182 subjects (8,038 cases and 8,144 controls) in our meta-analysis. PGC-1α rs8192678 polymorphisms of all subjects showed a significant association with T2DM susceptibility under all genetic models: allelic (OR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.13-1.35), dominant (OR: 1.27, 95% CI: 1.14-1.42), recessive (OR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.14-1.36), homozygous (OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.20-1.64), and heterozygous (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.06-1.35). In the subgroup analysis, we identified a significant association between PGC-1α rs8192678 polymorphism and T2DM in the Caucasian and Indian populations under all genetic models we investigated. This is the most comprehensive study of the subject to date. Conclusion. Our development of meta-analysis revealed that the minor allele (A) carriers, especially AA genotype carriers, can lead to risk of T2DM in the Caucasian and Indian populations. This is the first report that such risk has been confirmed. Our finding shed new light into the genetic alteration in T2DM.
