Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Obesity is the major determinant of type 2 diabetes (T2D), presumably through its effect on insulin resistance. Genome-wide association studies reported many single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that increase obesity risk and body mass index (BMI), but their impact on T2D-related traits and risk is unclear. OBJECTIVE: We aimed at analyzing the effect of 24 obesity risk alleles, separately and in...
