As of the latest T2D meta-analysis used here (DIAGRAM+), three mitochondrial genes (IDE, C8orf38 (Entrez ID 137682), and ACADS (Entrez ID 35)) lie near validated T2D SNPs amongst other genes in the interval [20], but a causal connection for these genes with T2D has not yet been shown. The gene discussed is ACADS; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
