Additionally, a study searching for common genetic risk factors for T2DM and pancreas cancer in a cohort of European ancestry has found slightly increased nominal risk for pancreatic cancer in MTNR1B rs10830963 polymorphism carriers, without convincing evidence for pleiotropic effects of the MTNR1B variant [265]. The gene discussed is MTNR1B; the disease is familial pancreatic carcinoma.
