Transethnic insight into the genetics of glycaemic traits: fine-mapping results from the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) consortium
AssociationN=26,760Stephanie A. Bien et al.(2017)· Diabetologia

Transethnic fine-mapping study of glycaemic traits in 26,760 participants (Hispanic/Latino, African, Asian, and Native American) using the Metabochip. Replicated 31/39 fasting glucose and 14/17 fasting insulin loci from European GWAS. Identified two novel secondary signals at G6PC2-rs477224 and GCK-rs2908290, a population-specific signal at G6PC2-rs77719485 in African ancestry, and one novel locus at SLC17A2-rs75862513 for fasting insulin.
