Author Contributions A.K. and K.S. planned and directed the research. A.K. wrote the first draft of the paper and, together with K.S., V.S., G.M., G.T. and U.T., wrote most of the final version. A.K. and G.M. designed the method to determine parental origin. G.M., with assistance from P.I.O., implemented the algorithm. D.F.G. wrote the code for association analysis taking parental origin into account and performed some initial analyses. P.S., S.B. and S.S. tabulated the established disease-associated variants and the regions known to harbour imprinted genes. V.S. and G.T. contributed to the analysis of the diabetes data and, together with A.K. and U.T., planned the follow-up association and functional studies. A.G., A.K. and M.L.F. imputed the untyped SNPs. S.N.S. and P.S. were responsible for the breast cancer and basal-cell carcinoma data. A.B.H., G.S. and R.B. provided clinical data for T2D, O.Th.J., T.J. and H.S. provided clinical data for breast cancer, and J.H.O., B.S. and K.R.B. provided clinical data for basal-cell carcinoma. The DIAGRAM Consortium provided the novel T2D-associated variants that are close to imprinted genes. Aslaug J., A.S., Adalbjorg J., K.Th.K. and S.A.G. performed the methylation and expression studies. A.C.F.-S. assisted in the interpretation of the results from the association and functional studies.
