Diabetes in the post-GWAS era

Constantin Polychronakos et al. Nat Genet. 2015 Dec.

Abstract

Large sample sizes, high-resolution arrays and comprehensive imputation are pushing genetic fine-mapping of complex trait loci to its limits without, in most cases, pinpointing a unique variant-gene combination. Superimposing these results on sophisticated maps of functional chromatin elements promises to break this logjam, as a new study of type 2 diabetes compellingly demonstrates.
