| Research Abstract |
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in KCNQ1 gene locus confer susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. In this study, we identified the proteins that bind this locus in allele-specific manner using nanobeads technology, and showed that the identified proteins can participate in the regulation of gene expressions. This means that SNPs in KCNQ1 gene modulate the affinity of the locus for DNA-binding proteins, which possibly change gene expressions and consequently increase risk of type 2 diabetes.
