“…Most frequently found, unsurprisingly, were genes associated by GWAS to diabetes or diabetes-related cardio-metabolic traits (cluster 3: MYO3B , cluster 4: DAPK1 , cluster 5: LPIN2 , cluster 7: SAMD4A and FHIT , cluster 8: ERG and PLCB1 , cluster 12: MYT1L , cluster 15: UBE2WP1 , cluster 16: ADARB2, CDKAL1, and CLIP1 , cluster 17: C8orf37-AS1 , cluster 21: FHOD3 and MCF2L, cluster 24: MTCL1 , cluster 26: NTM , cluster 31: PCDH15 , CDH4 , and DCTD , cluster 31: KLF12 , cluster 39: FHOD3 , cluster 45: IGF1R , BCAS3, and TENM4 , cluster 46: NRXN3 ). Cluster eight is characterized by cardiovascular complications, and three of the top ranking genes for this cluster have been associated with LDL peak particle diameter ( THBS4 ; Rudkowska et al, 2015), abdominal aortic aneurysm ( ERG ; Jones et al, 2017), pulse pressure ( ERG ; Warren et al, 2017), and diastolic blood pressure ( PLCB1 ; Warren et al, 2017). Cluster 21 is enriched for the ICD-10 diagnosis foot ulcer (L97), and MCF2L , one of the top ranking genes for cluster, has been associated with both end-stage coagulation (Williams et al, 2013) and prothrombin time (Tang et al, 2012).…”
