Heritability and genome-wide association analyses of fasting plasma glucose in Chinese adult twins

Abstract Background Currently, diabetes has become one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels that are higher than optimal, even if below the diagnostic threshold of diabetes, can also lead to increased morbidity and mortality.
