Description for The Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes and Related Traits: Biology, Physiology and Translation
Hardback. Covering the very latest advanced insights into type-2 diabetes arising from the rapid developments in human genetics, this volume covers all aspects of the topic, from genetic discovery to interpretation of genetic findings and clinical applications. Editor(s): Florez, Jose Carlos. Num Pages: 602 pages, 13 black & white illustrations, 39 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: MFN; MJGD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 0. .
This book presents the state of the art of type 2 diabetes genetics, from the process of genetic discovery to its interpretation and clinical application, and illustrates a model for other complex human phenotypes.The first section explores genome-wide association studies, the extension of this method to less accessible phenotypes and the arrival of next-generation sequencing. A further section goes beyond genetics to illustrate how other data sources can help interpret genetic data, such as leveraging population diversity, the correlation of genetic associations with physiological measurements, gene expression modulation, environmental factors and our microbial commensals. The third section describes advances in ... Read more
