Genetic clues for type 2 diabetes August 14, 2012 in Genetics Genetic clues for type 2 diabetes Enlarge The two studies identified 53 loci (regions on the chromosome where genes are located) that are linked to glycemic traits and type 2 diabetes. The research could help scientists develop a tool to detect the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
