In ≥ 70 controls (Fig. 2), seven CDKAL1 SNPs were associated with T2D, with rs11967068 showing the strongest association (OR = 1.84, P = 4.03 × 10–07), and rs20858852 showing negative association with T2D (OR = 0.68, P = 4.95 × 10–6). The gene discussed is CDKAL1; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
