Klappentext zu „The Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes and Related Traits “
This book presents the state of the art of type 2 diabetes genetics, from the process of genetic discovery to its interpretation and clinical application, and illustrates a model for other complex human phenotypes.The first section explores genome-wide association studies, the extension of this method to less accessible phenotypes and the arrival of next-generation sequencing. A further section goes beyond genetics to illustrate how other data sources can help interpret genetic data, such as leveraging population diversity, the correlation of genetic associations with physiological measurements, gene expression modulation, environmental factors and our microbial commensals. The third section describes advances in elucidating the complex path from association to function using in-depth sequencing and functional studies of the cellular and molecular effects of genes in the loci identified by genetics. The final section links our current understanding with clinically relevant questions, such as prediction, interactions with drugs or nutrients, and disease prevention, and paints a realistic but hopeful vision of the future.
The field of human genetics has witnessed tremendous acceleration in the last decade.
The parallel advances in genotyping and sequencing technology, our understanding of human genetic variation, and the statistical methodologies needed to interpret genetic findings have led to a veritable explosion of genetic discovery.
In few other diseases have the issues raised by these results become as paramount as in type 2 diabetes, where the elucidation of its genetic architecture, its transferrability across populations, the role of intermediate quantitative traits, the relative impact of environmental factors, the laborious progress from genetic association to function, and the clinical translation of genetic findings have met with both challenging obstacles and creative solutions.

Part I Genetic Discovery.- Part II Interpretation and Data Integration.- Part III From Association to Function.- Part IV Clinical Translation. Autoren-Porträt
Jose C. Florez, M.D., Ph.D. is the Chief of the Diabetes Unit at the Massachusetts General Hospital, an Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, and an Institute Member at the Broad Institute, where he leads the Diabetes Research Group, co-leads the Program in Metabolism, and is active in the Program in Medical and Population Genetics.He and his group have contributed to the performance and analysis of high-throughput genome-wide association and sequencing studies in type 2 diabetes and related traits, in the Diabetes Genetics Initiative, the Framingham Heart Study, and other international consortia such as MAGIC, GENIE, DIAGRAM, T2D-GENES and SIGMA, where he plays management roles. He leads the genetic research efforts of the Diabetes Prevention Program, where the effects of genetic variants on the development of diabetes can be examined prospectively, and their impact on specific behavioral and pharmacological preventive interventions can be assessed. He is the Principal Investigator of the Study to Understand the Genetics of the Acute Response to Metformin and Glipizide in Humans (SUGAR-MGH), and also conducts other pharmacogenetic studies at MGH. He is an author on 135+ original publications and 40+ reviews/book chapters.
