MACF1 gene variant rs2296172 is associated with T2D susceptibility in Mizo population from Northeast India

ConclusionThis study is the first replication report from Northeast India, showing variant rs2296172 of MACF1 gene associated with T2D in Mizo population. This independent study highlightsMACF1 as a candidate gene for T2D in Asian Indian populations, suggesting it is critical to evaluate the variant rs2296172 in other distinct endogamous Indian population cohorts.
