Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Novel type 2 diabetes-susceptibility loci have been identified with evidence that individually they mediate the increased diabetes risk through altered pancreatic beta cell function. The aim of this study was to test the cumulative effects of diabetes-risk alleles on measures of beta cell function in non-diabetic individuals. METHODS: A total of 1,211 non-diabetic individuals underwent metabolic...
