Regulatory variants at KLF14 influence type 2 diabetes risk via a female-specific effect on adipocyte size and body composition

<p>Individual risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is modified by perturbations of adipose mass, distribution and function. To investigate mechanisms responsible, we explored the molecular, cellular, and whole-body effects of T2D-associated alleles near KLF14. We show that KLF14 diabetes-risk alleles...
