We also identified five common target genes for cis-expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) in addition to ZRANB3. Overlaying these associations with known T2D loci from the GWAS Catalog highlighted two known-T2D genes associated with cis-eQTLs (MCM6, DARS) and four with trans-eQTLs (DGKB, GTF3AP5-AGMO, IL23R/IL12RB2, SLC44A4). Here, ZRANB3 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
