Weighted burden analysis in 200,000 exome-sequenced subjects characterises rare variant effects on risk of type 2 diabetes

2021-01-09

Abstract excerpt

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a disease for which both common genetic variants and environmental factors influence risk. A few genes have been identified in which very rare variants have large effects on risk and here we carry out a weighted burden analysis of rare variants in a sample of over 200,000 exome-sequenced participants in the UK Biobank project, of whom over 13,000 have T2D. Variant weights were allocated ba...
