We replicated in the Qatari family study the associations between T2D and cg19693031 (TXNIP; p value = 2.46 × 10−5) (Table 1) and between BMI and cg18181703 (SOCS3; p value = 3.99 × 10−6), cg11024682 (SREBF1; p value = 4.33 × 10−5), cg07573872 (SBNO2; p value = 5.87 × 10−5), cg00574958 (CPT1A; p value = 7.99 × 10−5), cg07136133 (PRR5L; p value = 1.85 × 10−4), cg03078551 (intergenic region on chromosome 17; p value = 1.00 × 10−3), and cg13123009 (LY6G6E; p value = 1.10 × 10−3) (Table 2). The gene discussed is TXNIP; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
