'Jumping Gene' Diminishes The Effect Of New Type 2 Diabetes Risk Gene

A genomic fragment that occurs naturally in some mouse strains diminishes the activity of the risk gene Zfp69. The researchers also found that the corresponding human gene (ZNF642) is especially active in overweight individuals with diabetes.
