A genome-wide association study identifies novel candidate genes for susceptibility to diabetes mellitus in non-obese cats (2021)
Journal Article
Catchpole, B., Forcada, Y., Boursnell, M., & Church, D. (2021). A genome-wide association study identifies novel candidate genes for susceptibility to diabetes mellitus in non-obese cats. PLoS ONE, https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0259939

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common feline endocrinopathy, which is similar to human type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in terms of its pathophysiology. T2DM occurs due to peripheral insulin resistance and/or β-cell dysfunction. Several studies have identified ge...
