HNF1A and diabetes mellitus: Utilizing GeneCards [38] Genes Like Me analysis tool highlighted shared descriptors between SOX13 and top genes in the Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) pathway such as HNF4G, HNF1B, HNF1A, INS, PDX1, NEUROD1, and GCK. Our previous research in pathway analysis of genome-wide association study (GWAS) data on PDAC found that the top single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with genes in the MODY pathway, suggesting that this pathway may be biologically relevant for risk of PDAC [39].
