SPINA-GR is a calculated biomarker for insulin sensitivity.[1][a] It represents insulin receptor gain.

How to determine GR
editThe index is derived from a mathematical model of insulin-glucose homeostasis.[2] For diagnostic purposes, it is calculated from fasting insulin and glucose concentrations with:
.[1]
)}{{G}_{E}\left[I\right](\infty )[G](\infty )}}-{\frac {{D}_{R}}{{G}_{E}[I](\infty )}}-{\frac {1}{{G}_{E}}}}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/fb6f6b0ebd5243ed47663596f0541e2875c81540)
[I](∞): Fasting Insulin plasma concentration (μU/mL)
[G](∞): Fasting blood glucose concentration (mg/dL)
G1: Parameter for pharmacokinetics (154.93 s/L)
DR: EC50 of insulin at its receptor (1,6 nmol/L)
GE: Effector gain (50 s/mol)
P(∞): Constitutive endogenous glucose production (150 μmol/s)
Clinical significance
editValidity
editCompared to healthy volunteers, SPINA-GR is significantly reduced in persons with prediabetes and diabetes mellitus, and it correlates with the M value in glucose clamp studies, triceps skinfold, subscapular skinfold and (better than HOMA-IR and QUICKI) with the two-hour value in oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT), glucose rise in OGTT, waist-to-hip ratio, body fat content (measured via DXA) and the HbA1c fraction.[1]
Clinical utility
editBoth in the FAST study, an observational case-control sequencing study including 300 persons from Germany, and in a large sample from the NHANES study, SPINA-GR differed more clearly between subjects with and without diabetes than the corresponding HOMA-IR, HOMA-IS and QUICKI indices.[3]
Scientific implications and other uses
editTogether with the secretory capacity of pancreatic beta cells (SPINA-GBeta), SPINA-GR provides the foundation for the definition of a fasting based disposition index of insulin-glucose homeostasis (SPINA-DI).[3]
In combination with SPINA-GBeta and whole-exome sequencing, calculating SPINA-GR helped to identify a new form of monogenetic diabetes (MODY) that is characterised by primary insulin resistance and results from a missense variant of the type 2 ryanodine receptor (RyR2) gene (p.N2291D).[4]
Pathophysiological implications
editIn lean subjects it is significantly higher than in a population with obese persons.[1] In several populations, SPINA-GR correlated with the area under the glucose curve and 2-hour concentrations of glucose, insulin and proinsulin in oral glucose tolerance testing, concentrations of free fatty acids, ghrelin and adiponectin, and the HbA1c fraction.[3]
