}}[[rs2272383]], a SNP in the [[TUB]] gene, was found in a study of 492 unrelated [[type-2 diabetes]] patients to have a significant effect on body mass index and thus [[obesity]] (1.3 kg/m(2), p= 0.01). When two populations were combined, totaling ~1200 patients, the risk allele [[rs2272383]](G) averaged an increase of 0.21 (â€“0.28 to 0.70).{{PMID|16443771}}
