| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic background of a family with multiple cases of diabetes using whole exome sequencing. Whole exome sequencing identified 439 non-synonymous variants present in all affected members and absent in unaffected members. After excluding common variants with minor allele frequency of >1% in SNP databases or in 105 Japanese normal controls, 16 candidate variants were selected. Among them R608H mutation in the ARHGEF11 gene might be a mutation for susceptibility to diabetes because the ARHGEF11 gene has been implicated to be involved in glucose metabolism in genetic association studies.
