SNP rs7560163 (P = 7.0×10−9, OR (95% CI) = 0.75 (0.67–0.84)) is located intergenically between RND3 and RBM43. This SNP was tested for association with T2DM, in silico, by the Diabetes Genetics Replication and Meta-analysis (DIAGRAM) Consortium [3] however failed quality control filters and was not included in analysis likely due to being monomorphic as seen in a representative Caucasian population from the HapMap project (Table S4). Here, RBM43 is linked to diabetes mellitus.
