Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Transcription factor 7-like 2 gene (TCF7L2), fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO), and ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase gene (ENPP1) are known risk loci for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) mostly in European populations. OBJECTIVES: To assess the association of these genes with T2DM risk in a South African mixed-ancestry population. METHODS: Five hundred and sixty six participants were...
