The variant rs35498929-T, also in the GALNT2 locus, was associated at a suggestive significance level with decreased apo-CIII0a (p = 7.44 × 10−7) and with higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes (p = 0.006) in the relatively small DiaGene study for such analyses (Supplementary Figure S3 and Supplementary Table S3). Here, GALNT2 is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
