We found both the rs229527 allele within C1QTNF6 (odds ratio [OR] = 1.23, confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.12-1.33, p<sub>Allelic</sub> = 4.60 × 10<sup>-6</sup>) and the rs2284038 allele within RAC2 (OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.01-0.19, p<sub>Allelic</sub> = 3.00 × 10<sup>-2</sup>) showed significant associations with GD susceptibility.
