but investigations into the genetic contributions to pancreatic fat are limited. This genome-wide association study, comprised of 804 participants with MRI-assessed pancreatic fat measurements, was conducted in the ethnically diverse Multiethnic Cohort-Adiposity Phenotype Study (MEC-APS). Two genetic variants reaching genome-wide significance, rs73449607 on chromosome 13q21.2 (Beta = -0.67, P = 4.50x10\n                    <jats:sup>-8<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) and rs7996760 on chromosome 6q14 (Beta = -0.90, P = 4.91x10\n                    <jats:sup>-8<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) were associated with percent pancreatic fat on the log scale. Rs73449607 was most common in the African American population (13%) and rs79967607 was most common in the European American population (6%). Rs73449607 was also associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes (OR = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.89\u20131.00, P = 0.047) in the Population Architecture Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) Study and the DIAbetes Genetics Replication and Meta-analysis (DIAGRAM), which included substantial numbers of non-European ancestry participants (53,102 cases and 193,679 controls). Rs73449607 is located in an intergenic region between\n                    <jats:italic>GSX1<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>PLUTO<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and rs79967607 is in intron 1 of\n                    <jats:italic>EPM2A<\/jats:italic>\n                    .\n                    <jats:italic>PLUTO<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>a lncRNA<\/jats:italic>\n                    , regulates transcription of an adjacent gene,\n                    <jats:italic>PDX1<\/jats:italic>\n                    , that controls beta-cell function in the mature pancreas, and\n                    <jats:italic>EPM2A<\/jats:italic>\n                    encodes the protein laforin, which plays a critical role in regulating glycogen production.
