CDKAL1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Because two intronic CDKAL1 variants (rs7754840 and rs7756992) that are positioned close to rs9368197 have been associated with type 2 diabetes and GDM in GWA studies [25], [26], [27], [28], we also analyzed the genetic patterns surrounding these two variants (Fig. 2, e-f) [8], [9], [25], [26].
