* The missing rate refers to the percentage of mutations that a method is inapplicable;

**The false positive rate was calculated by nonsynonymous single-nucleotide mutations in the diabetes genes acquired from the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project (ESP) [33], the CHARGE Exome Sequencing Project [34], [36], and the 1000 Genome Project [37], excluding mutations recorded in the HGMD database.
