The direction of associations for loci ADRA2A, IGF1 and IRS1 were consistent to those observed in the previous GWAS [2], [6], however none of the remaining loci were associated with type 2 diabetes (P≥0.21), IFG (P≥0.10) or combined IFG/type 2 diabetes (P≥0.22). The gene discussed is IRS1; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
