The SNPs rs83921 (~0.4 Mb distance of AQP7) and rs855532 (~0.25 Mb distance from AQP7) were significantly associated with T2D (p = 2.39*10−9)11 and HbA1c (p = 7.42*10−8), respectively (https://www.kp4cd.org/node/120; AMPT2D portal: hugeamp.org, Supplementary Fig. 1b). This evidence concerns the gene AQP7 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
