ADAMTS9 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Three of our novel SNP findings localize near well-known loci for type 2 diabetes (ADAMTS9, VEGFA, PPARG), although only our SNP near ADAMTS9 displayed a strong correlation with the published type 2 diabetes index SNP (rs4607103, r2 = 0.9, ∼0.001 cM), while the other two SNPs were uncorrelated with the reported type 2 diabetes SNPs (rs9472138, VEGFA, r2 = 0.008, ∼0.23 cM distant from our lead SNP; rs17036101, PPARG, r2 = 0.024, ∼0.15 cM).
