The T2D enrichment signal was largely due to multiple genes of modest effects (P = 4 × 10(-4), after removing known loci), highlighting new associations for follow-up (ACSL1, NFKB1, SLC2A2, incretin targets).
The variant genotypes rs1366600CC and TC/CC in the insulin receptor (INSR) gene, rs2292899GA in the acyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACSL1) gene and rs11724758AA in the fatty-acid-binding protein 2 (FABP2) gene were associated with T2DM (adjusted odds ratios (ORs) (95% confidence intervals)=2.03 (1.02-4.01), 1.28 (1.04-1.57), 1.22 (1.004-1.49) and 0.76 (0.58-0.997), respectively).
