Distinct Genetic Backgrounds in Quantitative Traits Preceding Type 2 Diabetes: One Reason for Missing Heritability

Piers R. Blackett & Dharambir K. Sanghera · Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research · 2013

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified variants associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but less than five percent of the genetic variance associated with T2D is accounted for in GWAS studies performed using T2D as endpoint. These findings suggest relevance of asse...
