    Two variants on chromosome 17 confer prostate cancer risk, and the one in TCF2 protects against type 2 diabetes

    We performed a genome-wide association scan to search for sequence variants conferring risk of prostate cancer using 1,501 Icelandic men with prostate cancer and 11,290 controls. Follow-up studies involving th...

    A variant in CDKAL1 influences insulin response and risk of type 2 diabetes

    We conducted a genome-wide association study for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Icelandic cases and controls, and we found that a previously described variant in the transcription factor 7-like 2 gene (TCF7L2) gene con...

    Refining the impact of TCF7L2 gene variants on type 2 diabetes and adaptive evolution

    We recently described an association between risk of type 2diabetes and variants in the transcription factor 7-like 2 gene (TCF7L2; formerly TCF4), with a population attributable risk (PAR) of 17%–28% in three po...

    Variant of transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene confers risk of type 2 diabetes

    We have previously reported suggestive linkage of type 2 diabetes mellitus to chromosome 10q1. We genotyped 228 microsatellite markers in Icelandic individuals with type 2 diabetes and controls throughout a 10.5-...
