Genetics in diabetes: Type 2 diabetes and related traits

The past decade has seen unprecedented progress in the understanding of the genetic basis of type-2 diabetes (T2D), fuelled largely by technological advancement. This has led to large scale studies such as various genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The undercurrent of this book is in defining the genetic basis of T2D and related traits from the perspective of current advancement in genomic...

Association of genetic variants of the incretin-related genes with quantitative traits and occurrence of type 2 diabetes in Japanese

BACKGROUND None of the high frequency variants of the incretin-related genes has been found by genome-wide association study (GWAS) for association with occurrence of type 2 diabetes in Japanese. However, low frequency and rare and/or high frequency variants affecting glucose metabolic traits remain to be investigated. METHOD We screened all exons of the incretin-related genes (GCG, GLP1R, DP...

Genetic influences on type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome related quantitative traits in Mauritius.

Epidemiological studies report a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome in the island nation of Mauritius. The Mauritius Family Study was initiated to examine heritable factors that contribute to these high rates of prevalence and consists of 400 individuals in 24 large extended multigenerational pedigrees. Anthropometric and biochemical measurements relating to the metabolic...

The effect of multiple genetic variants in predicting the risk of type 2 diabetes

While recently performed genome-wide association studies have advanced the identification of genetic variants predisposing to type 2 diabetes (T2D), the potential application of these novel findings for disease prediction and prevention has not been well studied. Diabetes prediction and prevention have become urgent issues owing to the rapidly increasing prevalence of diabetes and its associate...

Common Variants in the Adiponectin Gene (ADIPOQ) Associated With Plasma Adiponectin Levels, Type 2 Diabetes, and Diabetes-Related Quantitative Traits

OBJECTIVE Variants in ADIPOQ have been inconsistently associated with adiponectin levels or diabetes. Using comprehensive linkage disequilibrium mapping, we genotyped single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ADIPOQ to evaluate the association of common variants with adiponectin levels and risk of diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants in the Framingham Offspring Study (n = 2,543,...
