All five SNPs on the chromosome region 11p15.5 (containing genes involved with insulin production INS, IGF2, KCNQ1, and SLC22A18) were associated with T2D in males but only three in females (those located in genes KCNQ1 and SLC22A18) (Fig. 1). The gene discussed is SLC67A1; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
