Abstract: Type 2 diabetes mellitus has been at the forefront of human diseases and phenotypes studied by new genetic analyses. Thanks to international collaborations giving rise to well-powered and expertly analyzed genome-wide association studies (GWAS), we have made substantial progress in elucidating the genetic basis of type 2 diabetes. This presentation will summarize the concept, history, and recent discoveries produced by GWAS for type 2 diabetes and glycemic traits, with a focus on the key notions we have gleaned from these efforts. GWAS findings have illustrated novel pathways, pointed toward fundamental biology, provided a potential molecular basis for prior epidemiological observations, drawn attention to the role of â-cell dysfunction in type 2 diabetes, differentiated between normal glucose homeostasis and diabetes pathophysiology, explained ~10% of type 2 diabetes heritability, tempered our expectations with regard to their use in clinical prediction, and highlighted possible targets for pharmacotherapy and pharmacogenetic clinical trials. Current efforts to assess how this genetic knowledge may impact therapeutic choices will be described. We can apply these lessons to future genetic and physiological investigation so as to improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes.
