There were twenty variants across thirteen genes that were linked to other forms of diabetes (type 2 diabetes (T2D), gestational diabetes, diabetes retinopathy, and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus) or other autoimmune diseases (BCR, rs372013175; CACNA1B, 9-140773611-G-GACGACACGGAGCCCTATTTCATCGGGATCTT; CNN2, 19-1036442-C-A; COLGALT1, 19-17666649-G-A; LAMA3, 18-21338476-T-G; LGALS9C, rs376412531; MBD4, 3-129155546-CT-C; MST1L, rs11260920; MUC6, rs368342230, rs376177791, rs754249101, rs761220536, rs766751467, rs766833662; PABC1, rs140822921; RNASEH2B, rs200320729; ZNF596, rs756701581). This evidence concerns the gene MBD4 and autoimmune disease.
