“…Phenotypic differences between Asian and European T2DM individuals included weight, BMI and fat distribution [50]. The "Asian T2DM phenotype" was characterized by normal weight, BMI and height in conjunction with central obesity and thin limbs [51]. In contrast to the present study, another sample of adult Zapotecs with T2DM had, on average, a BMI that was elevated compared to non-T2DM individuals and an increased frequency of obesity [39].…”

“…For example, it has been demonstrated that Mexicans have a genetic variant known as SLC16A (and other genetic variants) that increase the probability of developing T2D by 25% and explains 20% of the current prevalence. [23][24][25] Additionally, it has been shown that the intrauterine environment conditions the occurrence of T2D and that a lower birth weight or a weight higher than the adequate weight at a young age contributes to the development of different metabolic pathologies at later ages. 12 Another factor associated with the increase in T2D at younger ages is an increase in obesity and overweight in younger individuals.…”

“…Cardiovascular disease (CD) is the main cause of death among Mexican adults, and cardiovascular events are induced by obesity and/or T2D [6]. More than 20 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with T2D [7], but polymorphisms related to cardiovascular risk have been poorly investigated in Mexican patients with T2D. Thus, we chose five SNPs associated with obesity and CD, to assess their association with T2D, namely, CXCL12 (stromal cell-derived factor 1 precursor) rs501120, CDKN2A/B (kinase inhibitor 2A) rs1333049, HNF-1 α (hepatocyte nuclear factor-1alpha) rs2259816, FTO (fat mass and obesity) rs9939609, and LEP (leptin) rs7799039.…”
