Abstract/OtherAbstract:
It has proven to be challenging to isolate the genes underlying the genetic component conferring susceptibility to type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Unlike previous approaches, 'genome wide association studies' (GWAS) have extensively delivered on the promise of uncovering genetic determinants of complex disease, with a number of novel disease-associated variants being largely replicated by independent groups. This review provides an overview of these recent breakthroughs in the context of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and outlines strategies on how these findings will be applied to impact clinical care for these two highly prevalent disorders.
