We confirmed associations between polymorphisms within the SLC30A8, TSPAN8/LGR5, FABP2, and FTO genes and susceptibility to T2DM in a Kazakh cohort, and revealed significant associations with anthropometric and metabolic traits. In particular, FTO and FABP2 gene polymorphisms were significantly associated with susceptibility to MS and obesity in this cohort.
