Monogenic Diabetes: What It Teaches Us on the Common Forms of Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract excerpt

To date, more than 30 genes have been linked to monogenic diabetes. Candidate gene and genome-wide association studies have identified > 50 susceptibility loci for common type 1 diabetes (T1D) and approximately 100 susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes (T2D).
