The genome-wide association study (GWAS) performed by the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC) identified a SNP, rs4674297, in MGC50811 (also known as C2orf62), located within the same LD block as SLC11A1 that showed some evidence of association with T1D (P = 0.0070) [53]. This evidence concerns the gene CATIP and type 1 diabetes mellitus.
