rs553668 represents a polymorphism in the ADRA2A gene on chromosome 10. Although it has been studied for quite a while, as all the citations below show, there are very few if any statistically robust conclusions about it, and almost none of the studies reported below have been independently replicated.

In "Association of the ADRA2A polymorphisms with the risk of type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis."[PMID 23462695] a meta-analysis of publications prior to September 2012 showed no overall association between rs553668 and T2D risk, but did find an association with very high (poor) P-value for Europeans under recessive gene model (GT=AA, OR=1.36, p=0.02, 95% CI: 1.05, 1.76).

In "Genetic association of adrenergic receptor alpha 2A with obesity and type 2 diabetes."[PMID 23526671] rs553668 was found to correlate with obesity in Swedish population, but not significantly for BMI-corrected T2D risk. ADRA2A is involved in sympathetic nervous system's inhibition of insulin secretion and lipolysis, so direct effect on T2D is usually sought, but the Swedish study suggest it could work through body mass. It also mentions that rs553668 has additionally been reported to be associated with risk of obesity in Caucasians and African Americans [PMID 17512307OA-icon.png][PMID 11571596][PMID 11886485], hypertension in African Americans [PMID 15561320], and with platelet aggregation [PMID 8541000].

"Exercise-induced muscle vasodilatation and genetic polymorphisms of alpha-adrenergic receptors, endothelial nitric oxide synthase and bradykinin receptor B2 in individuals without overt heart disease" provides some evidence of a link to vascular function in exercise. "ADRA2A is a cystic fibrosis modifier gene" concludes that rs553668 is modifier of Cystic Fibrosis severity.
