However, these pre-mature conclusions require further investigaton in different Han Chinese populations.Although we could not replicate the significant association in the SNPs in the PPARG, IGF2BP2, KCNJ11, EXT2, CDKN2A/B, and LOC387761 genes with T2D, which can be explained by investigating a different population in our study. Here, IGF2BP2 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
