To read the full abstract: Diabetes 2017;66:1713-1722This study examined whether genetic variants predisposing to T2DM exert their influence on disease via changes in DNA methylation in a young, non-diabetic, cross-sectional cohort. The examination of young subjects who are disease-free enables exploration of SNP-methylation relationships without assessing methylation differences that result from rev...
