Experiment summary
The Hoorn Diabetes Care System cohort consists of type 2 diabetics for whom clinical measurements are taken annually. Samples were genotyped using the Illumina HumanCoreExome chip array and imputed to HRC reference via the Michigan imputation server. Phenotypes were normalised using inverse rank-based normalisation on the residuals of a linear model adjusting for age, sex, and 4 Principal Components. The top 10 Principal Components were used as covariates in this analysis.
