1709-P: Assessing the Role of 211 “Established” Type 2 Diabetes Variants in American Indians

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many variants associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but there is little information on their effects in high risk populations such as American Indians. We analyzed 211 primary variants, associated with T2D (P<5.0×10-8) in published GWAS, in 7659 American Indian participants in a population study (33.5% with T2D)- updating our previous study of 63 variants. Genotypes came from a...
