Abstract excerpt
Human genetics analysis has identified many noncoding SNPs associated with diabetic traits, but whether and how these variants contribute to diabetes is largely unknown. Here, we focus on a noncoding variant, rs6048205, and report that the risk-G variant impairs the generation of PDX1+/NKX6-1+ pancreatic progenitor cells and further results in the abnormal decrease of functional β cells during pancreatic...
