Recent advances in the understanding of the genetics of type 2 diabetes (T2D) susceptibility have focused attention on the regulation of transcriptional activity within the pancreatic beta-cell. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent an important component of regulatory control, and have proven roles in the d...

Pancreatic M-CM-^_-cells adapt to compensate for the increased metabolic demand during insulin resistance. While the microRNA pathway has an essential role in the expansion of M-CM-^_-cell mass, the extent of its contribution is unclear. Here we show that miR-184 is silenced in the pancreatic islets...

The intersection of genome-wide association analyses with physiological and functional data indicates that variants regulating islet gene transcription influence type 2 diabetes (T2D) predisposition and glucose homeostasis. However, the specific genes through which these regulatory variants act rema...

We combined ChIP-seq of chromatin marks and key islet transcription factor with RNA-seq in human islets to map cis-regulatory networks in this primary tissue. The output of this project provides a reference map to dissect genetic variants that alter the susceptibility for Type 2 diabetes, and assist...

MuTHER adipose tissue small RNA expression
We investigate the naturally occurring variation of small RNA expression in conjunction with genetic and gene expression variation. We shall assess the variation in subabdominal fat tissue small RNA levels in 168 unrelated MuTHER individuals. Using gene expression data from the same samples, we can ...
B6.Cg-Lep ob/ob mice females were surgically implanted in an age of 10-12 weeks with Alzet osmotic mini pumps (model 1002, 0,25l/h, Cupertino, CA, USA) in two groups of ten mice each to perform continuous subcutaneous infusions of Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (vehicle; n = 8) or GLP-1 (GLP-1...
ORGANISM(S): Mus musculus 
The GoT2D study includes ~2800 samples, half T2D cases and half T2D controls, of Northern European ancestry sequenced over 3 three technologies: deep whole exome sequencing, low-pass (4x) whole genome sequencing, and OMNI 2.5M genotyping. Samples were ascertained to be phenotypically "extreme" (e.g....
