In this work, 5 out of the 52 identified CpGs, the cg06500161 (ABCG1), cg24531955 (Lysyl Oxidase Like 2, LOXL2), the cg19693031 (TXNIP), the cg02711608 (solute carrier family 1 member 5, SLC1A5) and the cg11024682 (SREBF1) were replicated in the blood cells and thus nominally associated with T2D. This evidence concerns the gene SLC1A5 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
