After the identification of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk alleles from genome-wide association studies, models have been developed to identify subjects at high risk to develop T2DM. We hypothesize that a panel of 20 repeatedly associated T2DM risk alleles influences response to sulfonylureas (SUs).
