Within this region of linkage, susceptibility genes for T2DM such as endogenous retrovirus group K member 18 (Herv K-18) and Rho guanine-nucleotide exchange factor 11 (ARHGEF11) (Böttcher et al., 2008) have been found to be associated with schizophrenia among sampled populations (Dickerson et al., 2008; Mizuki et al., 2014). The gene discussed is ARHGEF11; the disease is schizophrenia.
