Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Obesity causes many complex diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D). Obesity increases the risk of T2D in Europeans, but there are many non-obese (lean) T2D patients in East Asia. OBJECTIVE: To discover genetic factors enriched in obese or lean T2D patients, we conducted a genome-wide association (GWA) analysis for T2D stratified by BMI in the Korean population. METHODS: In the discovery stage, 654...
