title: Recent progress in the use of genetics to understand links between type 2 diabetes and related metabolic traits.
abstract: Genome-wide association studies have identified genetic variants associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this review is to highlight some of the insights into the mechanism underlying type 2 diabetes provided by genetic association studies.
