Differential effects on β-cell mass by disruption of Bardet–Biedl syndrome or Alstrom syndrome genes
22 Oct 2015
Abstract excerpt
Rare genetic syndromes characterized by early-onset type 2 diabetes have revealed the importance of pancreatic β-cells in genetic susceptibility to diabetes. However, the role of genetic regulation of β-cells in disorders that are also characterized by highly penetrant obesity, a major additional risk factor, is unclear. In this study, we investigated the contribution of genes associated with two obesity...
