Large parental differences in chromatin organization in pancreatic beta cell line explaining diabetes susceptibility effects

A SNP distant from the human insulin (INS) gene near the KRTAP5-6 gene confers increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes when present on the paternal allele while decreased susceptibility when on the maternal allele. Here the authors show that long-range contacts between the INS locus and the KRTA...
