      Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 80 susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes (T2D), but most of its heritability still remains to be elucidated. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis ...
    • Genome-wide association study of 25(OH) Vitamin D concentrations in Punjabi Sikhs: Results of the Asian Indian diabetic heart study 

      Sapkota, B.R.; Hopkins, R.; Bjonnes, A.; Ralhan, S.; Wander, G.S.; Mehra, N.K.; Singh, J.R.; Blackett, P.R.; Saxena, R.; Sanghera, D.K. (Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
      Vitamin D deficiency is implicated in multiple disease conditions and accumulating evidence supports that the variation in serum vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels, including deficiency, is under strong genetic control. However, ...
