Genome-wide association study identifies novel loci associated with skin autofluorescence in individuals without diabetes
2022-03-11
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Skin autofluorescence (SAF) is a non-invasive measure reflecting accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) in the skin. Higher SAF levels are associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. An earlier genome-wide association study (GWAS) revealed a strong association between <italic>NAT2</italic> variants and SAF. The a...
