Abstract excerpt
In a panel of large Caucasian pedigrees, we genotyped markers in eight chromosomal regions previously reported as supporting linkage with type 2 diabetes. We previously reported significant linkage on chromosome 20q (maximum logarithm of odds score [MLS] = 2.79) in this panel. In the present analysis, candidate regions on 1q, 2q, 3q, 5q, 9q, and 10q yielded little evidence for linkage; a region on 2p (MLS = 1.64,...
