In genome-wide association studies, the variants in zinc finger gene 1 (JAZF1), insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2), transcription factor 7 like 2 (TCF7L2), melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), cell division cycle 123 (CDC123), potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1 (KCNQ1), insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2), solute carrier family 16 member 11 (SLC16A11), and PHD finger protein 2 (PHF2) have all been previously were involved in lipid metabolism and were associated with T2DM in adults [9, 10]. Here, CDC123 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
