Variants in Three Genes Predict Development of Type 2 Diabetes.
Findings Based on 7,000 Swedes Followed for 22 Years
WASHINGTON, June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Common variants in three genes have been found to predict development of type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease, based on a study of more than 7,000 Swedes followed for an average of 22 years, according to a report presented here today at the American Diabetes Association's 66th Annual Scientific Sessions.
"Each of these genes are independent predictors of diabetes, which means that each acts via a different mechanism to increase risk of the disease, and that those who have two or more of the genes have added risk," explained Valeriya Lyssenko, MD, PhD, a fellow in diabetes and endocrinology at Lund University, Malmo, Sweden, in a recent interview. Dr. Lyssenko is the lead author of the study.
