Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a multifactorial, heritable syndrome characterized by dysregulated glucose homeostasis that results from impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance. Genetic association studies have successfully identified hundreds of T2D risk loci implicating many genes in disease pathogenesis. In this review, we provide an overview of the recent T2D genetic studies from the...
