Genetics of Diabetes Mellitus: A Review of Indian Population Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
By and large, genetic studies on diabetics suggest that diabetes is about 50 per cent inherited, and other 50 per cent acquired or environmental. Because of the heterogeneous nature and multifactorial inheritance pattern of diabetes, accurate genetic counseling is not possible as yet. However, data to date suggest that it is unwise to advise prospective parents not to procreate, since the overall risk of the development of clinical diabetes mellitus in offspring is extremely low.

Efficacy of insulin targeted gene therapy for type 1 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review and meta-analysis of rodent studies
Objective(s): Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major worldwide public health challenge, for which gene therapy offers a potential therapeutic approach. To date, no systematic review or meta-analysis has been published in this area, so we examined all relevant published studies on rodents to elucidate the overall effects of gene therapy on bodyweight, intraperitoneal glucose...
متن کاملAssociation of CpG-SNP and 3\'UTR-SNP of WFS1 with the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in an Iranian Population
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common multifactorial disorders in Iran. Recent genome wide association studies (GWASs), and functional studies have suggested that WFS1 may predispose individuals to T2DM. However, to date, the possible association of such variants with T2DM in Iranians remained unknown. Here, we investigated the association of the two polymorphisms of WFS1 (r...
متن کاملMAP3K1 May be a Promising Susceptibility Gene for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in an Iranian Population
Considering that MAPK (mitogen- activated protein kinase) signaling pathway has an important role in the progression of inflammatory cytokine secretion in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), we have recently investigated the reported genetic polymorphism from genome wide association study in MAP3K1 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1) in diabetes as an important member of MAPK signal...
متن کاملPharmacogenomics of glibenclamide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review
Introduction: One of the most widely used anti-diabetic drugs is sulfonylureas, which is often used as one of the first-line drugs in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Due to the effect of the patient's genetic structure on the drug response (personalized medicine), the identification of genetic variations not only reduces the rate of adverse drug reactions but can also predict the effectivenes...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Diabetes Mellitus and Pulmonary Diseases: A Systematic Review
Diabetes mellitus (DM) as a chronic disease could lead to micro- and macrovascular disorder. Also, some evidence demonstrated that pulmonary involvement is more frequent in DM patients than the healthy population. Hence, we tried to perform a systematic search to considering pulmonary disease among the DM patients. Articles were identified through searching databases including PubMed, Google Sc...
