PPARG and diabetes mellitus: Established susceptibility gene loci for traits relating to obesity and diabetes in European population have been tested for replication in other ethnic population groups; such exemplary loci that are known to replicate well in other ethnic population groups (such as Indians and Russians) include PPARg, KCNJ11, TCF7L2, SLC30A, ABCC8, HHEX, CDKN2A, IGF2BP2, CDKAL1, and FTO32, 33, 34.
