Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes: It Matters From Which Parent We Inherit the Risk

Abstract: ■ AbstractType 2 diabetes (T2D) results from a co-occurrence of genes and environmental factors. There are more than 120 genetic loci suggested to be associated with T2D, or with glucose and insulin levels in European and multi-ethnic populations. Risk of T2D is higher in the offspring if the mother rather than the father has T2D. Genetically, this can be associated with a unique parent-of-origin (PoO) transmission of risk alleles, and it relates to genetic programming during the intrauterine period, resulting… Show more

“…To date, more than 120 genetic loci have been suggested to be associated with T2DM, or with glucose and insulin levels in the European and multi-ethnic populations (Sladek et al, 2007;Zeggini et al, 2008;Dupuis et al, 2010;Imamura et al, 2011;Lyssenko et al, 2015). Of these, several loci have been shown to be associated with T2DM in different ethnic groups, whereas the remaining loci have not shown any significant effects in the ethnic populations other than those in the original reports.…”

“…POE have been described in congenital heart defects [86], attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder [87], testicular germ cell tumors [88], cleft lip [89], autism [90,91], language impairment [92], type II diabetes [93,94], adiposity [95], and BMI [96]. Some of these SNPs are located in proximity to imprinted genes; further evaluation is needed to determine whether all of these effects are mediated by the~100 imprinted genes in the human genome, or whether there are additional processes that affect asymmetry in the maternal and paternal genomes.…”

“…So far, many susceptibility and predisposition genetic loci have been described and found to be influenced by other environmental factors such as obesity and life style effects. 84,103,129,130 However, there are an increasing molecular evidence that emphasized on the role of some variants in coding regions as causative genes that associated with T2D. 112,131,132 The sibling-relative risk for T2D is 3 compared with 15 for T1D.…”
