Dec 3 Wednesday	LHI Lecture A genetic approach to unravel a new pathway increasing risk for type 2 diabetes: TCF7L2 Jennifer Hall, PhD Associate Professor of Medicine Director, Program in Translational Cardiovascular Genomics Cardiovascular Division, University of Minnesota MICaB Visiting Scientist, BROAD Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, MA » more info about Jennifer Hall from the Cardiovascaulr Division web site Summary: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disease resulting from the interaction of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Common genetic variants of the TCF7L2 gene have recently been identified as the strongest genetic risk factors increasing risk of T2D. However, it is unclear how these variants in non-coding regions of the gene increase risk of the disease.
