Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: High body iron store has been associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D); it remains unknown whether the genetic variants related to body iron status affect T2D risk. We aimed at comprehensively investigating the associations between the genetic variants related to body iron status and the T2D risk. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Six common SNPs related to body iron status from recent...
