Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Functional knowledge of most genetic variants identified from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for type 2 diabetes (T2D) is limited. A recent T2D GWAS revealed an association signal (rs4689388) upstream of the gene encoding Wolfram syndrome 1 (WFS1) whose intrinsic nucleotide variants had been previously associated with T2D in several candidate gene analyses. The aim of the present study was to...
