Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: A genome-wide association study in the French population has detected that novel single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IDE-KIF11-HHEX gene locus and the SLC30A8 gene locus are associated with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVE: We investigated whether SNPs in these loci were associated with type 2 diabetes in Japanese. DESIGN: Two SNPs, rs7923837 and rs1111875, in the IDE-KIF11-HHEX...
