Assessing the combined impact of 18 common genetic variants of modest effect sizes on type 2 diabetes risk.
OBJECTIVES: Genome-wide association studies have dramatically increased the number of common genetic variants that are robustly associated with type 2 diabetes. A possible clinical use of this information is to identify individuals at high risk of developing the disease, so that preventative measur...
