Ethnic diversity in genetic study identifies more genomic regions linked to type 2 diabetes-related traits
Ethnic diversity in genetic study identifies more genomic regions linked to type 2 diabetes-related traits By ensuring ethnic diversity in a largescale genetic study, an international team of researchers, including a University of Massachusetts Amherst genetic epidemiologist, has identified more regions of the genome linked to type 2 diabetes-related traits. The findings, published May 31 in Nature Genetics, broaden the understanding of the biological basis of type 2 diabetes and demonstrate that expanding research into different ancestries yields better results. Ultimately the goal is to im...
