Six single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci are known to contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is certain if eight or more of the alleles at these six loci are of the “contributing” variety. An uppercase letter indicates an allele that contributes to diabetes and a lowercase symbol indicates a
