Genetic markers are DNA sequences with known physical locations on chromosomes. They are points of variation that can be used to identify individuals or species, or may be used to associate an inherited disease with a gene through genetic linkage with nearby but possibly unidentified or uncharacterised genes. Examples include single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and minisatellites.
In people of South Asia ancestry, specific genetic mechanisms may drive diabetes development, as revealed by a new study offering insights into global diabetes heterogeneity and potential avenues toward precision medicine.
