Rs1889018

rs1889018 is one of several SNPs associated with the SREBF1 gene that show a modest association with type-2 diabetes.

A study of ~2,000 Caucasian patients (and 10,000+ controls) led to an odds ratio of 1.12 (CI: 1.01-1.24, p=0.04) for the minor (risk) allele, rs1889018(T). This allele was also associated with a surrogate measure of insulin sensitivity (p=0.03).
