Glucose-raising genetic variants in MADD and ADCY5 impair conversion of proinsulin to insulin.

INTRODUCTION: Recent meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies revealed new genetic loci associated with fasting glycemia. For several of these loci, the mechanism of action in glucose homeostasis is unclear. The objective of the study was to establish metabolic phenotypes for these genetic v...
