To identify the genetic bases for nine metabolic traits, we conducted a meta-analysis
combining Korean genome-wide association results from the KARE project (n= 8,842) and …

Loss-of-function mutations protective against human disease provide in vivo validation of
therapeutic targets,,, but none have yet been described for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Through …

Knowledge regarding the genetic risk loci for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is still
