Journal ArticleDOI

New susceptibility loci associated with kidney disease in type 1 diabetes.

Niina Sandholm, +105 more
- 20 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of T1D DN revealed association of two SNPs with ESRD in the AFF3 gene and an intergenic SNP on chromosome 15q26 between the genes RGMA and MCTP2, which represent new signals in the pathogenesis of DN.
Journal ArticleDOI

The (in)famous GWAS P-value threshold revisited and updated for low-frequency variants.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe guidelines for genome and exome-wide association P-value thresholds needed to correct for multiple testing, explaining the impact of linkage disequilibrium thresholds for distinguishing independent variants, minor allele frequency and ancestry characteristics.

Impact of common genetic determinants of Hemoglobin A1c on type 2 diabetes risk and diagnosis in ancestrally diverse populations: A transethnic genome-wide meta-analysis

Eleanor Wheeler, +214 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of genetic risk-scores comprised of erythrocytic or glycemic variants on incident diabetes prediction and on prevalent diabetes screening performance was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

The prevention of type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: Prevention strategies that can be implemented in routine clinical settings have been developed and evaluated, but widespread application has been limited by local financial considerations, even though cost-effectiveness might be achieved at the population level.
