Discovery of novel genes and genetic regulatory mechanisms through integrative genomic, epigenetic and transcriptional analysis in human pancreatic islet cells

2016-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by a rise in blood sugar levels, estimated to currently affect more than 300 million people worldwide. Even though pancreatic islet β-cells play a central role in all major forms of the disease, their transcriptome is still not fully characterised. Furthermore, type 2 diabetes susceptibility is known to be affected by non-coding genomic variation, but the imp...
