Adiposity-related heterogeneity in patterns of type 2 diabetes susceptibility observed in genome-wide association data.

Adiposity-related heterogeneity in patterns of type 2 diabetes susceptibility observed in genome-wide association data.

OBJECTIVE: This study examined how differences in the BMI distribution of type 2 diabetic case subjects affected genome-wide patterns of type 2 diabetes association and considered the implications for the etiological heterogeneity of type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We reanalyzed data f...
