Abstract:Background: A cluster of many risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease is used to describe the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Moreover, genetic differences associated with metabolic syndrome play a key role in its prevalence and side effects. This study aims to investigate the expression of DYRK1B and its association with metabolic syndrome in a small cohort of Egyptian.Materials and methods: A total of 100 adult Egyptians (50 with MetS and 50 healthy control subjects) were included to this stud… Show more
“…The kinase Dyrk1b is upregulated in patients with metabolic syndrome in Egyptian cohort [ 172 ]. Besides its key function in ribosomal DNA double-strand breaks repair, Dyrk1b activates mTORC2 and promotes lipogenesis in a kinase-independent way (Section 3.4 ) [ 173 ].…”
