The comparison of the frequencies of risk alleles in the indigenous peoples studied here with the frequencies of the populations of the 1000 Genomes Project reveals that in six (CAPN1043 - rs3792267, CAPN1063 - rs5030952, ABCC8 - rs1799854, KCNJ11 - rs5129, CTF7L2A - rs7901695 and PPARG - rs1801282) of the seven analysed variants related to T2D the frequencies are as high in indigenous people as in continental groups. The gene discussed is PPARG; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
