Abstract excerpt
A hospital-based case-control study was conducted to investigate potential association between mitochondrial DNA and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Chinese Uyghur population. We sequenced mitochondrial DNA from 210 Uyghur individuals including 88 T2DM patients and 122 controls. Using haplogroup classification and association test, we found that haplogroup H (odds ratio [OR] = 1.40; 95% confidence interval...
