Possible link to diabetes.

This locus harbours a cis-association with MSP/MST1/HGFL (Hepatocyte growth factor-like protein); rs9858542 tags a borderline significant association with fasting glucose (p=4.9×10-8) in Magic and with CVD (p=6.3×10-6) in CardioGram; HGFL is a paralogue of HGF; HGF levels are associated with the presence of type 2 diabetes in postmenopausal women.

The information gathered here is a result of an attempt to keep track of all interesting information that we encountered while investigating these loci. Please bear in mind that the annotation given here is neither complete nor free of errors, and that all information provided here should be confirmed by additional literature research before being used as a basis for firm conclusions or further experiments.
