A coding variant of the PAX4 transcription factor (p.Arg192His) is uniquely associated with Type 2 Diabetes in East Asian populations. Here, the authors show that two different coding gene variants of PAX4, p.Arg192His and the newly identified p.Tyr186X, can influence pancreatic beta cell development, identity, and function.
