In addition, we identified three TCR signaling genes, Linker for activation of T cells (LAT), Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) [59], and Protein kinase D2 (PRKD2), all of which are associated with increased expression by 1, 7, and 5 candidate T1D eQTLs, respectively. The gene discussed is PRKD2; the disease is type 1 diabetes mellitus.
