Abstract

The academic objectives of this MEG were to train undergraduate and graduate students on the scientific process while providing valuable insight into the genetic factors that may play a role in the development of diabetes in the Wasatch front population. We were able to meet these objectives as evidenced by the training of two graduate students and seven undergraduates and by the identification of a novel genetic allele which most likely contributes to diabetes.
