Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Few coding variants in genes associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been identified, and the underlying physiologic mechanisms whereby susceptibility genes influence T2D risk are often unknown. The objective of this study was to identify coding variation that increases risk for T2D via an effect on a pre-diabetic trait. METHODS: Whole exome sequencing was done in 177 Pima Indians. Selected variants...
