However, a replication study, which genotyped SNPs mapped in CDKAL, SLC30A8, HHEX, EXT2, IGF2BP2, LOC387761, and FTO previously associated with T2D in Caucasians, did not provide any evidence for association with T2D or obesity among full-heritage Pima Indians. Here, SLC30A8 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
