OBJECTIVES: The EuroQol five-dimensional (EQ-5D) questionnaire is a generic measure widely used for the assessment of health status. Research has suggested that it may be insensitive to the burdens associated with particular conditions. This study was designed to explore the feasibility of developing and valuing a disease-specific "bolt-on" version of the EQ-5D questionnaire for use in psoriasis. METHODS: A series of steps were undertaken to develop, test, and evaluate dimensions for a psoriasis-specific version of the EQ-5D questionnaire (hereafter referred to as the EQ-PSO questionnaire)...

We tested the association of TCF7L2 variants with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in 691 Lebanese people and 919 controls. rs7901695, rs4506565, rs7903146, rs12243326, rs7895340, and rs12255372 minor allele frequencies were higher in T2DM. Haplotype analysis (rs7901695-rs4506565-rs7903146-rs12243326-rs7895340-rs11196205-rs12255372) identified positively- (2122112, 2222222) and negatively- (1111111) T2DM-associated haplotypes. TCF7L2 is a common T2DM candidate gene in Lebanese people.
