Open chromatin and diabetes risk.

Groop, Leif LU (2010) In Nature Genetics 42(3). p.190-192
Abstract
A new study has identified a large number of open chromatin regions harboring active regulatory elements in human pancreatic islets. A type 2 diabetes-associated SNP in TCF7L2 was found to be located in a region of allele-specific open chromatin and shows allele-specific enhancer activity, suggesting a potential mechanism for this disease association.
