The associations of SLC30A8 and SLC16A11 with diabetes are well-described, but the disease mechanisms have not been fully elucidated yet (Krentz and Gloyn, 2020; Rusu et al, 2017; Hoch et al, 2019) and accordingly ClinVar and Orphanet do not report this association. Here, SLC30A8 is linked to diabetes mellitus.
