Association between 9p21 genetic variants and mortality risk in a prospective cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes (ZODIAC-15)

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The genomic region at 9p21 chromosome near the <it>CDKN2A/CDKN2B</it> genes is associated with type 2 diabetes(T2D) and cardiovascular disease(CVD). The effect of the 9p21 locus on long-term mortality in patients with T2D has yet to be determined.<...
