TCF7L2 and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency: At the population level, we have obtained consistent results showing that, on the one hand, the TCF7L2-rs7903146 polymorphism significantly interacts with obesity to determine the prevalence and incidence of T2D, and, on the other, that T2D interacts with the TCF7L2-rs7903146 in BMI both at baseline and prospectively.
