In analyses using full covariate models, we observed that the T T2D-risk allele at the IGF2BP2 SNP rs4402960 was associated with raised fasting glucose level (p = 0.045), and that the A obesity-risk allele at the FTO SNP rs9939609 was associated with raised BMI (p = 0.003). Here, FTO is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
