Three out of the seven T2D risk variants nominally associated with T2D in the Danish population sample of 5,777 cases and 7,956 controls; the C-allele of TMEM154-rs6813195 (odds ratio (OR) = 1.09 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.02–1.16], p = 0.015), the G-allele of POU5F1/TCF19-rs3130501 (OR = 1.08 [95% CI = 1.01–1.16], p = 0.030) and the C-allele of MPHOSPH9-rs4275659 (OR = 1.07 [95% CI = 1.00–1.15], p = 0.047) (Table 1). The gene discussed is MPHOSPH9; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
