The largest genome-wide association study for type 2 diabetes so far, which included several ancestry groups, led to the identification of eight clusters of genetic risk variants go.nature.com/3xzZ27i
Diving deeper into the genomics of osteoarthritis 🧬 Pleased our work on the first 3D map of chromatin interactions in primary osteoarthritis chondrocytes is out:) @G_Orozco_C ard.bmj.com/content/annrhe…

Proud of adding diversity to this study with data from admixed African Americans and Hispanics from @MassGenBrigham Biobank @CGM_MGH @MGH_RI and SIGMA consortium with @AliciaChagoya and Ravi Mandla. Great leadership from @EleZeggini, @bvoight28, Andrew Morris and many more!
An international collaboration has conducted the largest and most ancestrally diverse genome-wide association study for type 2 diabetes (T2D) and found many new locations in the genome linked to T2D broad.io/diabetesGWAS
New exciting GWAS of type 2 diabetes in Nature in ~2.5 million individuals (>0.4 million cases), ~40% of which are from non-European ancestries. The sample size is so big that now the authors can dissociate the genetic signals in different clusters and use the cluster-specific…
#DNA insights into #diabetes 💡In the largest #type2diabetes GWAS study yet, a global team including #HelmholtzMunich researchers uncovered 600+ genetic risk loci, constructing risk scores for disease complications. 👉t1p.de/wihji @EleZeggini @Nature
