Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Although type 2 diabetes mellitus is a known risk factor for pancreatic cancer, the existence of shared genetic susceptibility is largely unknown. We evaluated whether any reported genetic risk variants of either disease found by genome-wide association studies reciprocally confer susceptibility. METHODS: Data that were generated in previous genome-wide association studies (GENEVA Type 2 Diabetes;...
