The teams found that this technology, called MetaboChip, that is 100 times faster than previous methods, could identify regions that are less strongly detected through genetic studies -- giving a robust new method to search for the genetic underpinnings of these diseases.
Researchers have identified 38 new genetic regions that are associated with glucose and insulin levels in the blood. This brings the total number of genetic regions associated with glucose and insulin levels to 53, over half of which are associated with type 2 diabetes.
