TCF7L2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Therefore, our main aims were: (1) To investigate the interaction between the TCF7L2-rs7903146 polymorphism and obesity status in determining T2D prevalence as well as T2D incidence after a median ~6-year follow-up and (2) to examine whether the association of the TCF7L2-rs7903146 SNP with obesity-related parameters depends on T2D status both at baseline and prospectively in the PREvención con DIeta MEDiterránea (PREDIMED) study.
