OBJECTIVE—The present study was conducted to confirm possible associations between
candidate genes from genome-wide association studies and type 2 diabetes in Japanese …

We conducted an autosomal genome scan to map loci for type 2 diabetes in a Hong Kong
Chinese population. We studied 64 families, segregating type 2 diabetes, of which 57 had at …

Our understanding of the genetics of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has changed, in part
owing to implementation of genome-wide association studies as a method for unraveling the …

Type 1 diabetes is a common, multifactorial disease with strong familial clustering (genetic
risk ratio [λS]∼ 15). Approximately 40% of the familial aggregation of type 1 diabetes can be …

Recent genome searches suggest a putative linkage of many loci to susceptibility to type I
diabetes. The chromosome 2q31–35 region is reported to be linked to susceptibility to type I …

Eur J Clin Invest 2011; 41 (6): 679–692 Abstract Background Recent genome‐wide
association studies enlarged our knowledge about the genetic background of type 2 …

Family and twin studies have shown clearly that Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus
has a genetic basis. However, only within the past decade has it been possible to …

Although over 60 loci for type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been identified, there still remains a
large genetic component to be clarified. To explore unidentified loci for T2D, we performed a …

To systematically evaluate genetic susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2D) in “candidate”
regions on chromosomes 1q, 3q and 12q, we examined disease association by using a total …

Context: Over the last few months, genome-wide association studies have contributed
significantly to our understanding of the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes. If and how …
