CDKAL1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus: Furthermore, we were able to replicate the association of the CDKAL1 rs7754840 SNP with self-reported T2D in this population, which compared to the most common GG genotype, individuals in our population with either the CG or CC genotype showed evidence of an increased risk of T2D (ORCG = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.08-2.16; ORCC = 1.63, 95% CI = 0.97-2.73; pdom = 0.0095 and padd = 0.015), lending credibility to our results.
