Genetic Variants and Cancer Risk in Type 2 Diabetes Patients

Study suggests genetic variants behind type 2 diabetes could increase risk of breast, bowel, and pancreatic cancer. Identifying specific genetic variants could potentially save thousands of lives by helping to predict, prevent, and treat cases of cancer.

Genetic Variants Discovery

Researchers have discovered over 275 million new genetic variants from data shared by almost 250,000 volunteers, with half of the data coming from participants of non-European ancestry.
