Furthermore, five novel associations overlap with previously reported GWAS signals for the same phenotypes: TERT (abdominal aortic aneurysm)31, LPIN2 (coronary atherosclerosis)32, MCM10 (hypercholesterolemia)33, NFATC1 (hypothyroidism)34, and ERBIN (type 2 diabetes)35, further supporting the involvement of these genes with the respective phenotypes. This evidence concerns the gene ERBIN and Hypercholesterolemia.
