Other nearby associations with related cardiometabolic traits include chronic kidney disease (CKD), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), anthropometric traits (BMI, height, and birth weight), blood pressure (systolic blood pressure and hypertension), diabetes-related traits (blood glucose and HOMA-IR), and gene expression of several genes (e.g. ATP6V0D1, ZDHHC1, DUS2L, AGRP, GFOD2 and LRRC29). This evidence concerns the gene DUS2 and diabetes mellitus.
