Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obesity is a well-known risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Genome-wide association studies have identified a number of genetic loci associated with obesity. The aim of this study is to examine the contribution of obesity-related genomic loci to type 2 diabetes in a Chinese population. METHODS: We successfully genotyped 18 obesity-related single nucleotide polymorphisms among 5338 type 2...
