Abstract excerpt
Phenotypic heterogeneity complicates detection of genomic loci predisposing to type 2 diabetes, potentially obscuring or unmasking specific loci. We conducted ordered-subsets linkage analyses (OSAs) for diabetes-related quantitative traits (fasting insulin and glucose, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and 28-year-time-averaged fasting plasma glucose (FPG)) from 330 families of the Framingham Offspring Study. We calculated...
