      Saxena, R.; Saleheen, D.; Been, L.F.; Garavito, M.L.; Braun, T.; Bjonnes, A.; Young, R.; Ho, W.K.; Rasheed, A.; Frossard, P.; Sim, X.; Hassanali, N.; Radha, V.; Chidambaram, M.; Liju, S.; Rees, S.D.; Ng, D.P.-K.; Wong, T.-Y.; Yamauchi, T.; Hara, K.; Tanaka, Y.; Hirose, H.; McCarthy, M.I.; Morris, A.P.; Basit, A.; Barnett, A.H.; Katulanda, P.; Matthews, D.; Mohan, V.; Wander, G.S.; Singh, J.R.; Mehra, N.K.; Ralhan, S.; Kamboh, M.I.; Mulvihill, J.J.; Maegawa, H.; Tobe, K.; Maeda, S.; Cho, Y.S.; Ta (American Diabetes Association Inc., 2013)
      We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and a multistage meta-analysis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Punjabi Sikhs from India. Our discovery GWAS in 1,616 individuals (842 case subjects) was followed by in silico ...
    • PPARG and ADIPOQ gene polymorphisms increase type 2 diabetes mellitus risk in Asian Indian Sikhs: Pro12Ala still remains as the strongest predictor 

      Sanghera, D.K.; Demirci, F.Y.; Been, L.; Ortega, L.; Ralhan, S.; Wander, G.S.; Mehra, N.K.; Singh, J.; Aston, C.E.; Mulvihill, J.J.; Kamboh, I.M. (2010)
      We have examined the association of 14 tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNPs) in peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-? transcripts 1 and 2 (PPARG1 and 2) and 5 tagSNPs in adiponectin (ADIPOQ) genes for ...
    • Variants in KCNQ1 increase type II diabetes susceptibility in South Asians: A study of 3,310 subjects from India and the US 

      Been, L.F.; Ralhan, S.; Wander, G.S.; Mehra, N.K.; Singh, J.; Mulvihill, J.J.; Aston, C.E.; Sanghera, D.K. (2011)
      Background: Polymorphisms in intron 15 of potassium voltage-gated channel, KQT-like subfamily member 1 (KCNQ1) gene have been associated with type II diabetes (T2D) in Japanese genome-wide association studies (GWAS). More ...
