Genome-wide association studies in the Japanese population identify seven novel loci for type 2 diabetes.

Minako Imamura, +71 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of GWAS for T2D in the Japanese population indicates that expansion of single ethnic GWAS is still useful to identify novel susceptibility loci to complex traits not only for ethnicity-specific loci but also for common loci across different ethnicities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions of Dietary Whole-Grain Intake With Fasting Glucose– and Insulin-Related Genetic Loci in Individuals of European Descent: A meta-analysis of 14 cohort studies

Jennifer A. Nettleton, +63 more
- 01 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: The results support the favorable association of whole- grain intake with fasting glucose and insulin and suggest a potential interaction between variation in GCKR and whole-grain intake in influencing fasting insulin concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneous Contribution of Insulin Sensitivity and Secretion Defects to Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

TL;DR: Heterogeneity of physiologic processes underlying hyperglycemia exists among women with gestational diabetes mellitus, and GDM with impaired insulin sensitivity confers a greater risk of adverse outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Personalized genetic risk counseling to motivate diabetes prevention: a randomized trial

TL;DR: Diabetes genetic risk counseling with currently available variants does not significantly alter self-reported motivation or prevention program adherence for overweight individuals at risk for diabetes.
