Abstract excerpt
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Type 2 diabetes is highly polygenic and influenced by multiple biological pathways. Rapid expansion in the number of type 2 diabetes loci can be leveraged to identify such pathways. METHODS: We developed a high-throughput pipeline to enable clustering of type 2 diabetes loci based on variant-trait associations. Our pipeline extracted summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (GWAS)...
