Independent genome-wide association studies highlighted the function of CLEC16A/KIAA0350 polymorphisms modifying the risk to either multiple sclerosis (rs6498169) or type 1 diabetes (rs2903692).
Furthermore, a joint analysis, with the INS and CTLA4 SNPs, revealed that CTLA4 rs3087243, ERBB3 rs2292399, and CLEC16A rs2903692, but not INS rs689, were significant risk factors for the cooccurrence of AITD in Japanese T1D.
Three common non-coding variants of the gene (rs2903692, rs725613 and rs17673553) in strong linkage disequilibrium reached genome-wide significance for association with T1D.

Our results demonstrated that IL2RA rs11594656 and CLEC16A rs725613 are protective factors of T1D, while NLRP1 rs12150220 and APOA5 -1131T/C are risky factors of T1D and T2D, respectively.
In these Sardinian samples, allele A of rs725613 is positively associated not only with T1D (odds ratio=1.15, P one-tail=5.1 x 10(-3)) but also, and with a comparable effect size, with MS (odds ratio=1.21, P one-tail 6.7 x 10(-5)).
