	Major allele	HWE	Genotype distribution	Additive model		Dominant model		Recessive model
SNP	(frequency)	P-value	(RR/RC/CC)	β	P-value*	β	P-value*	β	P-value*
rs12696304	G(0.68)	0.83	398/1731/1853	−0.02	4.5E-03	−0.04	3.4E-02	−0.03	1.4E-02

Abbreviations: CC, homozygous for major allele (common allele); HWE, Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium; RC, heterozygous for minor and major allele; RR, homozygous for minor allele (rare allele)

^*P-values were calculated in multiple regression model adjusted for age, gender and status of type 2 diabetes.
