Our previous study linked LMNA variant p.G602S to type 2 diabetes and showed that ∼0.3% of African Americans carry this allele, and revealed a dominant lipodystrophy-causing variant (p.I299V) in 0.347% of Latinx individuals in ExAC (Florwick et al., 2017). This evidence concerns the gene LMNA and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
