We, therefore, designed a case-control study consisting of controls with normal oral glucose test (OGTT) and patients with pre-diabetes in an attempt to identify associations between T2DM and five genetic loci near NEGR1, GNPDA2, BDNF, MC4R and KCTD15 that have previously been reported to be associated with obesity or/and BMI [8]–[11]. The gene discussed is KCTD15; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
