Our evolutionary analyses suggest that derived alleles of rs78338345 of GGA3, rs7656604 at 4q13.3, rs34902660 of SLC17A3, and six SNPs closely located at 12q24.1 associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia, and three complex disorders (hypertension, hyperuricemia, and dyslipidemia), respectively, rapidly expanded after the human dispersion from Africa (Out-of-Africa).
Intraocular pressure was suggestively associated with novel variants located in FAR2 at 12p11.22 (rs4931170, P = 1.2 × 10(-5)), in GGA3 at 17q25.1 (rs52809447, P = 6.7 × 10(-5)), and in PKDREJ at 22q13.31 (rs7291444, P = 7.4 × 10(-5)).
