Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In the present study, we aimed to validate the type 2 diabetes (T2DM) susceptibility alleles identified in the first genome-wide association study in the hematopoietically expressed homeobox protein (HHEX) gene region (rs1111875 and rs7923837). Furthermore, we investigated quantitative metabolic risk phenotypes of these two variants for association with three key components of the insulin metabolism:...
