We also noted that the colocalized signals might be driven by haplotype structures or LD, as multiple studies identified strong signals for T1D at nearby SNPs in the HLA region (e.g., rs9271365 mapped to HLA-DQA1) [37–39], which are close to but not identical to the colocalized SNPs that we identified. The gene discussed is HLA-DQA1; the disease is type 1 diabetes mellitus.
