Researchers Find Genetic Link Between Type 2 Diabetes, Coronary Heart Disease

Sep 05, 2017

|

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – An international study led by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania has identified new loci with ties to the etiology of both type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary heart disease (CHD).

The team conducted a genome-wide, multi-ancestry study of genetic variation for T2D and CHD in order to evaluate the shared genetic origin of the two diseases.
