Similarly, little is known about the WDR27 biological functions in the brain; however, an SNP in the intergenic region adjoining WDR27 (rs924043) was associated with type 1 diabetes (Bradfield et al., 2011), and its duplication has been seen in obese patients (D’Angelo et al., 2018). Here, WDR27 is linked to type 1 diabetes mellitus.
