Why is it important?
Haplotypes constituted by minor alleles of rs3847554, rs1387153, rs2166706, rs10830963 and major allele of rs10830962 showed significant positive correlation with fasting glucose.
Perspectives
The results obtained are suggestive of MTNR1B role in T2D etiology, they need to be confirmed with much larger sample sizes.
