Medicare, NIH researchers identify genetic elements influencing the risk of type 2 diabetes: A team led by researchers at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health, has captured the most comprehensive snapshot to date of DNA regions that regulate genes in human pancreatic islet cells, a subset of which produces insulin.

The intensive glucose treatment was […]...
