Rare P/LP GLIS3 variants do contribute to type 2 diabetes risk. The variants located in the distal part of the protein could have a direct effect on its functional activity by impacting its transactivation domain, by homology with the mouse GLIS3 protein. Furthermore, rare P/LP GLIS3 variants seem to have a direct clinical effect on beta cell function, which could be improved by increasing insulin secretion via the use of sulfonylureas.
