Scientists find genes linked to diabetes
Submitted by Glasgow on 31 March 2008 – 5:46 amNo Comment
Scientists have found six new genes linked to type 2 diabetes, a discovery that will improve understanding of how the disease develops.
Each of the disease variants of the genes raises the risk of developing diabetes by only a small amount, but scientists say the combined impact of the collection of genes could be powerful, and the discovery could help develop new forms of prevention and treatment. One of the genes has also been linked to prostate cancer.
