Figure 2
Plot of fasting blood glucose effects and type 2 diabetes odds ratios for the 16 strongest variants associated with fasting glucose levels. Data were obtained from published meta-analysis [14, 17]. Red triangles represent genetic loci showing a GWAS-significant association with both fasting glucose and type 2 diabetes risk; blue circles represent loci associated with fasting glucose only. Effect sizes are aligned to the fasting glucose-increasing allele.
