The genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes

Christian Fuchsberger, +349 more
- 11 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed whole-genome sequencing in 2,657 European individuals with and without diabetes, and exome sequencing for 12,940 individuals from five ancestry groups.

The genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes

Christian Fuchsberger, +300 more
TL;DR: Large-scale sequencing does not support the idea that lower-frequency variants have a major role in predisposition to type 2 diabetes, but most fell within regions previously identified by genome-wide association studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sequence variants in SLC16A11 are a common risk factor for type 2 diabetes in Mexico

A. L. Williams Amy, +128 more
- 06 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: Analysis in Mexican and Latin American individuals identified SLC16A11 as a novel candidate gene for type 2 diabetes with a possible role in triacylglycerol metabolism and an archaic genome sequence indicated that the risk haplotype introgressed into modern humans via admixture with Neanderthals.
Journal ArticleDOI

A transgenic mouse model of metastatic carcinoma involving transdifferentiation of a gastric epithelial lineage progenitor to a neuroendocrine phenotype

TL;DR: The 399 mouse genes identified as regulated during acquisition of an invasive phenotype and concomitant neuroendocrine transdifferentiation provide a foundation for molecular classification of NECs arising in other tissues and for genetic tests of the molecular mechanisms underlying NEC pathogenesis.
