Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Addressing gene-gene interactions is essential in defining a trait implicating complex disease-related mechanisms. In this study, we aimed to explore both main effects of single-locus and multi-locus interactions to test the hypothesis that the ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) and perilipin (PLIN) genes may contribute to the etiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D) independently...
