This study identifies 86 T2D GWAS associations in 125,000 admixed Mexican adults, including 21 novel signals, and highlights the role of common regulatory variation in the endocrine pancreas.

The paper analyzes complete mitogenomes from 60 Mexican Indigenous groups to reveal demographic history and shared genetic connections.

This study identifies 35 genes associated with circulating lipid levels using rare coding variants from 170,000 exomes across multiple ancestries.

This study shows that Mct11 deficiency in mice disrupts hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism, mirroring T2D features, and identifies MCT11 as a potential therapeutic target for T2D.

The paper evaluates penetrance and variable expressivity of monogenic metabolic conditions using exome data from 77,184 individuals, finding that monogenic variants have larger effect sizes than polygenic scores but low penetrance.
