Variant sets in three of these genes, DPP4, GLP1R and KCNJ11 significantly associated with either T2D diagnosis or HbA1c levels (p ≤ 0.003 correcting for 15 variant sets tested) and an additional 4 genes had a nominally significant association with T2D and/or HbA1c (Supplementary Figure 5 and Supplementary Table 27). Here, KCNJ11 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
