In the last 4 years, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revolutionized the complex disease genomics research worldwide. In the context of type 2 diabetes, GWASs have led to the discovery of several novel genetic markers that illuminated hitherto unknown biological pathways. Now, the validation of these type 2 diabetes–related priority single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (from GWASs) among different world populations is needed. Despite a very large burden of type 2 diabetes in India and the important question of possible genetic susceptibility among south Asians, the …
