Genes are prioritized if they, besides being part of a protein complex showing potential T2D dysregulation, are part of at least one of the four islet biology gene sets and harbor at least one SNP with P < 1 × 10−4 in one or more of the 19 GWAS described in Supplementary Table 6. Only the best SNP P-value and corresponding GWAS trait are shown. To focus on novel T2D genes, genes in any of the 13 islet diabetic phenotype gene sets are excluded.
