Chapter 14: GENETICS OF TYPE 2 DIABETES

Figure 14.1 -- Bar graph showing the discovery of genes associated with type 2 diabetes increased from 3 before 2007 to several dozen in the G W A S era between 2007 and 2014

Figure 14.2 -- Scatter plot showing that genetic variants linked to type 2 diabetes risk more often affect beta cell function than insulin resistance

Figure 14.3 -- Quantile-quantile graph showing that measures of beta cell function have a higher likelihood of yielding significant findings than measures of insulin sensitivity

Figure 14.4 -- Graph showing genetic risk scores developed in people of European descent are associated with fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes when applied to people of non-European descent

Figure 14.5 -- Bar graph showing that an intensive lifestyle intervention reduced the incidence rate of diabetes consistently among people in each quartile of genetic risk score
