Expression-based genome-wide association study links the receptor CD44 in adipose tissue with type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: This work performed an eGWAS across 130 independent experiments to find additional genes implicated in the molecular pathogenesis of T2D and identified the immune-cell receptor CD44 as the top candidate, likely plays a causative role in the development of adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance in rodents and humans.
