Karen Mohlke, Markku Laakso, Michael Boehnke and colleagues report the first application of the Illumina HumanExome Beadchip array, examining association with insulin and glycemic traits in 8,229 nondiabetic Finnish males from the population-based Metabolic Syndrome in Men (METSIM) study. They identify low-frequency coding variants at both known and newly associated loci with insulin processing and secretion.
