A haplotype of PCK1 variants was shown to confer risk of developing the disease in a Korean population (OR not given, p = 6 × 10-3) [5], and a screen of 134 candidate susceptibility SNPs showed that the -232C/G SNP was a risk factor for T2D in a Finnish cohort (OR = 1.27, 95% CI 1.02 - 1.57, p = 0.031) [6]. The gene discussed is PCK1; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
