Type 2 diabetes risk alleles in PAM impact insulin release from human pancreatic beta cells

The molecular mechanisms underpinning GWAS loci for type 2 diabetes (T2D) remain poorly understood. Coding variants in peptidylglycine alpha-amidating monooxygenase (PAM) are associated with both T2D risk and insulinogenic index. Here, we demonstrate that the T2D risk alleles impact negatively on ov...
