CAMK2B and type 2 diabetes mellitus: We also identified novel genetic variants associated with disease progression: two SNPs (rs4607517 in Glucokinase [GCK] and rs758982 in Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Protein Kinase II Beta [CAMK2B]) in the NGT to PD model, and eight SNPs in the NGT to T2D model, including variants in the Zinc Finger Protein 106 (ZNF106), PTOV1 Extended AT-Hook Containing Adaptor Protein (PTOV1), Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 2 (PCSK2), Forkhead Box D2 (FOXD2), Solute Carrier Family 38 Member 7 (SLC38A7), and Neuronal Growth Regulator 1 (NEGR1) genes.
