Secondary analysis of publicly available data reveals superoxide and oxygen radical pathways are enriched for associations between type 2 diabetes and low-frequency variants.

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide association studies explain at most 5%-10% of the heritable components of type 2 diabetes. Some of the "missing type 2 diabetes heritability" could be explained by low-frequency variants. We examined the associations between low-frequency variants and type 2 diabetes, using data from 2538 diabetic and 2977 nondiabetic subjects in the publicly available database of Genotypes and Phenotypes. We applied...
