First, we performed single gene-wide association scans to identify KL SNPs associated with diabetes. Next, we performed a nuclear-by-mitochondrial interaction test (NuMIT) in which we use an identified KL SNP from the gene-wide scan to evaluate potential interactions with 85 mitochondrial SNPs in relation to diabetes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We failed to identify a significant association between diabetes and the KL SNP in our single gene-wide association test. However, we identified a novel variant (KL rs9563121) which showed a trend of increasing Klotho mRNA levels with each additional minor allele. A NuMIT analysis identified mitochondrial SNPs, which showed significant interactions with rs9563121 in relation to diabetes risk. MitoG15929A showed significant interactions with rs9563121 in both men and women. MitoG15929A diminished the potential beneficial effect of KL rs9563121 on diabetes risk in women. Among men with the MitoG15929A variant, KL rs9563121 was associated with higher prevalence of diabetes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The NuMIT approach revealed significant interactions between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA variants of KL.
