We also queried the two variants from the available summary data from a recent additive genetic model GWAS of type 2 diabetes [8] and found that the ITGA1 rs870992 G allele was nominally associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, whereas no effect was observed for LARGE1 rs16993330 (ESM Table 5). The gene discussed is ITGA1; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
