Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic background of familial clustering of diabetes using genome-wide linkage analysis combined with exome sequencing. We recruited a Japanese family with a 3-generation history of diabetes. The family comprised 16 members, 13 having been diagnosed with diabetes. Nine members had been diagnosed before the age of 40. Linkage analysis was performed assuming an...
