Studies showed that GRK2 [151], ADCY3 [152], FASN (fatty acid synthase) [153], DGKD (diacylglycerol kinase delta) [154], DGKQ (diacylglycerol kinase theta) [154], IP6K1 [155], ANXA1 [156], SUCNR1 [157], PRNP (prion protein) [158], CXCR4 [159], CAV1 [160], LCN2 [161], AQP9 [162], NMU (neuromedin U) [163], NPY1R [164], FFAR2 [165], OSM (oncostatin M) [166] and TREM1 [167] might be a potential markers for diabetes mellitus and obesity. Here, IP6K1 is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
