The other intronic variant (rs12286037) in ZNF259 was also strongly associated with TG in the Punkabi T2D group (β = 0.09, p = 0.004) and the NG+T2D groups (β = 0.07, p = 0.003; 0.14 p = 0.002) in both the Punjabi and US cohorts, as well as in meta-analysis (β = 0.09, p = 1.58×10−2) using either fixed- or random-effect models. The gene discussed is ZPR1; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
