Abstract excerpt
Common variants in KCNQ1 have recently been reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes in East Asians. We aimed to examine whether these common variants (rs2074196, rs2237892, rs2237895 and rs2237897) were also associated with type 2 diabetes in a population-based cohort of 3210 Chinese Hans and to explore the underlying mechanisms. The SNPs rs2237892, and were significantly associated...
