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, IGF2BP2 is linked to obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
