FAM105A was furthermore coexpressed with the T2D genes SLC30A8, G6PC2 and KCNJ11 (Taneera et al., 2012) while PDLIM4 resides in a region of the genome that was differentially methylated in islets when comparing T2D patients and controls (Dayeh et al., 2014). Here, KCNJ11 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
