Genetic studies of late diabetic complications: the overlooked importance of diabetes duration before complication onset.

Abstract excerpt

Genes play a role in many processes underlying late diabetic complications, but efforts to identify genetic variants have produced disappointing and contradictory results. Here, we evaluate whether the study designs and analytic methods commonly being used are optimal for finding susceptibility genes for diabetic complications. We do so by generating plausible genetic models and assessing the performance of...
