Outside of known T2D loci we observed additional examples such as at the 7p15 locus where rs1107376 (T2D P = 2.2x10-4) mapped in a glucocorticoid-induced site proximal to NPY which had glucocorticoid-stimulated expression (S7B Fig and S3 and S8 Tables). This evidence concerns the gene NPY and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
