The Type 2 Diabetes–Associated Gene Ide Is Required for Insulin Secretion and Suppression of α-Synuclein Levels in β-Cells
25 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have identified several type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk loci linked to impaired β-cell function. The identity and function of the causal genes in these susceptibility loci remain, however, elusive. The HHEX/IDE T2D locus is associated with decreased insulin secretion in response to oral glucose stimulation in humans. Here we have assessed β-cell function in Ide knockout (KO) mice. We...
