Identifying genes involved in beta cell dysfunction using high-throughput genetic and genomic approaches

Abstract:

Genome-wide association studies have identified >400 signals which are robustly associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk, a large proportion of which are involved in pancreatic beta cell dysfunction. A major barrier to translational insight however is uncertainty over the genes through which they exert their effect. The aim of this thesis was to perform the first genome-wide pooled CRISPR screen in human beta cells and use a high-throughput and unbiased approach to identify candidate cau...
