Major Collaboration Uncovers Surprising New Genetic Clues to Diabetes
An international team that included scientists from the National
Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes
of Health (NIH), today reported it has identified six more genetic
variants involved in type 2 diabetes, boosting to 16 the total
number of genetic risk factors associated with increased risk of
the disease.
