The role of obesity-related genetic loci in insulin sensitivity.

Diabetic medicine : a journal of the British Diabetic Association - 1 Jul 2012

Fall T, Arnlöv J, Berne C, Ingelsson E

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Despite rapid advancements and many new diabetes susceptibility loci found in the past few years, few genetic variants associated with insulin sensitivity have been described, potentially attributable to the lack of larger cohorts examined with gold standard methods for insulin sensitivity assessment. There is a strong link between obesity and insulin sensitivity, and we hypothesized that known obesity...
