Source
Consistent association of type 2 diabetes risk variants found in europeans in diverse racial and ethnic groups.
Embedded
yes

Text

Some caution should also be given to the interpretation of the risk modeling conducted in each ethnic group, as the genetic markers included are unlikely to be the causal alleles. Future fine-mapping and sequencing studies to identify the functional variants (common and/or rare) and large-scale testing of each allele will be required to more precisely model risk as well as assess differences in the distribution of genetic risk across populations.
