Variants in KCNQ1 are associated with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract
We carried out a multistage genome-wide association study of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Japanese individuals, with a total of 1,612 cases and 1,424 controls and 100,000 SNPs. The most significant association was obtained with SNPs in KCNQ1, and dense mapping within the gene revealed that rs2237892 in intron 15 showed the lowest P value (6.7 |[times]| 10|[minus]|13, odds ratio (OR) = 1.49).
