TL;DR: A microsatellite within intron 3 of the transcription factor 7–like 2 gene (TCF7L2; formerly TCF4) was associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and is thought to act through regulation of proglucagon gene expression in enteroendocrine cells via the Wnt signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is proposed that PDE4D is involved in the pathogenesis of stroke, possibly through atherosclerosis, which is the primary pathological process underlying ischemic stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This locus on 5q12, which is designated as "STRK1," does not correspond to known susceptibility loci for stroke or for its risk factors and represents the first mapping of a locus for common stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In Supplementary Table 2 online, SNP 41 was incorrectly labeled as rs152312, the correct label is rs12153798.
