Similarly, we identified relevant protein associations for cg19693031 (TXNIP gene) previously associated with type 2 diabetes [23, 25] and cg07839457 (NLRC5 gene) previously associated with immune-related proteins such as CD48 antigen [26] or traits such as rheumatoid arthritis [23]. The gene discussed is TXNIP; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
