There are numerous phenotypes associated with the MHC loci, consistent with significant pleiotropy of this region, but there is also evidence for pleiotropy for a previously replicated Alzheimer's disease locus (MAPT, KIAA1267, STH), which displays a signal for Crohn's disease, and a second replicated Alzheimer's locus (DAPK1), which shows evidence for Type II diabetes and related traits across multiple studies. The gene discussed is HLA-C; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
